"Channel Your Inner Child To Become A Better Clinical Research Professional" presented by John R. Nocero PhD and Andrea Bordonaro, MAT

The Clinical Research Forum provides value to the PMI Atlanta community by regularly discussing the various aspects of clinical trial projects with special focus on the need to anticipate, understand, and implement detailed project management activities in a proactive manner for clinical trials in the pharmaceutical industry.

Presentation Details    

In the stressful and sometimes overwhelming world of clinical research, becoming overwhelmed by your emotions can happen to all of us — crying uncontrollably, snapping at others, or running away from a stressful situation. Emotions are your brain’s way of telling you something good or bad is happening in your life. We’re not telling you emotions are bad or good. They just are. But emotions become a problem when you don’t have a healthy way to manage them. To emotionally regulate yourself means you can step back from whatever emotion you are experiencing, identify it, and manage it as needed. But what if we told you there was a simple approach to naming your feelings, resulting in increased self-awareness and improved social and emotional skills? It’s an approach taught in schools worldwide for more than 15 years, and bringing it into the clinical research world can result in better relationships with your colleagues. It’s emotional intelligence on steroids — The Zones of Regulation.

The Agile Forum meetings offer an opportunity for professional networking and knowledge sharing with other agile practitioners as well as provide a learning environment for professionals interested in learning about agile techniques. Everyone is welcome to participate.
