"Be the master of your emotions, achieve the queen within" - Women's Special Lecture for International Women's Day
On March 8, 2019, to celebrate International Women's Day, our company planned and held a women's special lecture themed "Be the master of your emotions, achieve the queen within", aiming to focus on women's mental health and reflect the company's humanistic care.
The lecture invited Ms. Liu Liping as the speaker. Ms. Liu is not only the deputy general manager of our company but also holds a master's degree in psychology from Southwest University, is a national second-level psychological counselor, and a senior professional lecturer certified by the American Certification Association. She has served as a marriage and family counselor and a mentor for the growth of adolescents and children in institutions such as the Chongqing Civil Affairs Bureau, Chongqing Social Work Service Center, and Volunteer Service Center, focusing on one-on-one counseling and group guidance for parents and students, with rich lecture experience.
Before the lecture began, the Human Resources and Administration Department carefully arranged the venue and prepared snacks and fruits to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere. At ten o'clock in the morning, more than fifty female employees took their seats on time, and the lecture officially began.
The host introduced the theme of the lecture - emotional management - with a humorous video, and then invited the speaker, Ms. Liu, to start the main content of the lecture. First, Ms. Liu introduced herself in a storytelling format, vividly and interestingly explaining her remarkable life experience. Then, she designed an interactive ice-breaking activity, allowing everyone to shake hands and greet their colleagues, sharing three good things that happened today. It seemed that everyone was infected by the good mood, and the atmosphere on site became lively.
Subsequently, Ms. Liu used a situational simulation to pose the question: "If you could choose, would you still want to be a woman?" This immediately sparked a discussion among everyone. Many young colleagues expressed their unwillingness to continue being women, citing various troubles and hardships. Just when no one was willing to continue being a woman, General Ye Wenrun analyzed the happiness of being a woman from another perspective based on his life experience. Through the enthusiastic discussion, everyone also understood the joys and sorrows of being a woman.
Next, Ms. Liu used case analysis to illustrate that both men and women can be emotional at times, and then she cut to the theme: "Be the master of your emotions, achieve the queen within." In this lecture, Ms. Liu first analyzed the differences between men and women in terms of thinking patterns, ways of love, emotional expression, and stress management. She then explained that women's negative emotions mainly stem from the workplace, family, and interpersonal relationships, primarily manifesting as anger, anxiety, irritability, depression, and sadness. These negative emotions have varying degrees of adverse effects on women's physical health, interpersonal relationships, marital relationships, and parent-child education.
The factors affecting women's emotions are multifaceted. From external factors, they mainly manifest in social roles and relationships, while from internal factors, they mainly stem from the interaction patterns of the family of origin. Due to the uncertainty and inevitability of these emotional influencing factors, the importance of emotional management is highlighted. To regulate their negative emotions, Ms. Liu provided many feasible suggestions.
Finally, Ms. Liu summarized three maxims that encapsulate the secrets of emotional management: "Make others comfortable, make yourself at ease, and create a harmonious environment."
At the end of the lecture, Ms. Liu shared a thought-provoking short film with everyone, and this event concluded on a warm and harmonious note.
