The Science, Technology and Business Park of the Universitat Jaume I (Espaitec) has held its second face-to-face workshop as part of the "Cuida't Espaitec" series. The psychologist, trainer and lecturer Kike Algora was in charge of giving the session, the aim of which was to address how emotions influence cognitive skills and, consequently, productivity and the relationship with people in the workplace.

As Algora explained, emotions can have an impact on various skills such as listening, the ability to smile and pay attention, patience, conflict management, flexibility and collaboration with other people. Therefore, it is essential to know tools to enhance emotional intelligence and improve interpersonal communication skills to increase the ability to listen and empathise.

In order to understand the types of emotions, the speaker explained that, unlike feelings, which are a more rational and lasting effect, emotions are an ephemeral alteration of mood. However, following the theory of psychologist Paul Ekman, Algora defined joy, sadness, anger, disgust and fear as basic emotions, and explained that there are no good or bad emotions, but rather positive, negative or ambiguous ones, depending on the degree to which they produce well-being.

Algora also introduced the term "amygdala hijacking", coined by psychologist Daniel Goleman, which describes a set of immediate emotional responses that are not proportional to the real stimulus and which trigger excessive reactions. To avoid adverse effects produced by this reaction, it is essential to be aware of what is happening and allow time to reduce the level of stress and send the right signal to the neocortex.  
  
Through the "Cuida't Espaitec" cycle, a series of lectures and workshops aimed at people who are part of the innovative and technological ecosystem of the Universitat Jaume I and the business fabric of Castellón, Espaitec strengthens its commitment to improve the well-being and health of the working staff of its companies, thus promoting a positive and productive working environment. This initiative is supported by the Department of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society of the Generalitat Valenciana.
