The recordings of those webinars are available to view below.
The webinar speakers are both experienced market professionals who have become specialist trader/portfolio manager coaches and both are part of the Essentia Coaching Partners Programme. Each webinars is structured to give you both theoretical and practical insights into this fascinating area.
1. Why Emotional Intelligence is the New Efficient Frontier (Nov 2014)
Duration: 25 minutes
Overview:
Research shows that when you’re physically tired or have already made a number of tough decisions, you’re more likely to misperceive risk. In this webinar, Denise Shull reviews new lessons from decision and neuroscience and explains why a more focused awareness of our mental state can generate better investment performance. Denise also reveals what the science says about the thinking styles of so-called “natural born traders”.
Speaker: Denise Shull | Founder & President, The ReThink Group | Author of Market Mind Games
Based in New York and a former equities and commodities trader with a fascination with neuropsychology, Denise solves the vexing problem of human foibles and mis-behavior in the face of market risk. Using the latest research on how cognitive and emotional brain inputs work together, she teaches professional investors how to integrate their intellects, experience and emotional clues to arrive at higher-odds decisions. www.therethinkgroup.net
