Families expect funeral professionals to provide grief resources and value comforting grief information. Over the last 20 years, grief researchers have challenged many longstanding assumptions in grief and loss including the stages of grief, the inevitability of grief, closure, cutting ties, gender differences, and others. In this engaging session, Dr. Jason Troyer will provide a review of the myths, controversies, and new developments in the field of grief. More importantly, he will provide practical applications for how funeral professionals can use this information to provide exceptional service and set themselves apart from their competition.

Why do some people have trouble being effective in their roles or working well with others? It is usually not because they lack skills; rather, it is often because they lack emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence has a far greater impact on people’s ability to be productive and work well with others than cognitive intelligence. Emotionally intelligent people are able to identify and assess their emotions and those of others, and then use that information to guide their actions and influence the actions of others. This workshop reviews how to utilize emotional intelligence more effectively through self-assessment and skill development exercises. Participants will learn strategies that will increase their ability to engage with others and expand their influence..
