The CEB course is a professional, high-standard distance education class—not a casual self-paced video series. Led by a highly experienced university instructor, this structured program follows a comprehensive course outline with assigned readings, daily exercises, and required attendance.
Designed to fit the demanding schedules of active leaders and busy families, the 8-module curriculum offers a flexible 4-week or 8-week timeline (completing 1 or 2 modules per week). You can participate via live weekly virtual classes or through the live class video recordings. Each module integrates classroom lectures with module readings and evidence-based emotional balance practices. Active investment in these assignments translates theory into practical, life-changing capability, and full completion of all coursework is required to earn your Certificate of Completion.
30-Minute Core Lecture: Academic presentation covering theoretical frameworks, evidence-based research, and module concepts.
20-Minute Guided Practicum: Experiential CEB behavioral exercises. Participants are highly encouraged to assume a comfortable posture—either sitting upright or lying down—to fully engage the nervous system during these practices.
Group Discussion & Feedback: While open dialogue and peer reflections are integrated into the class structure, active participation in class discussions is strictly optional. You are welcome to observe quietly.
8-Week Standard Track: Designed for steady pacing, requiring a commitment of one module per week via live attendance or session recordings.
4-Week Accelerated Track: Designed for intensive study, requiring a commitment of two modules per week via live attendance, session recordings, or a combination of both.
Live Class Schedule: Synchronous sessions are broadcast weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Mountain Time.
Cohort Matriculation: New course blocks for both tracks officially commence on the first Tuesday of every month.

Because modules involve deep focus and somatic relaxation exercises, you must log in from a quiet, private space free from domestic or workplace distractions.
Camera Status: To cultivate a connected, non-judgmental community environment, please keep your video camera turned on during live sessions.
Audio Management: Mute your microphone upon entry to eliminate ambient background noise. Unmute whenever you are called on to share, ask questions, or participate in discussions.
Professional Presence: Treat the virtual classroom with the same confidentiality and respect as a closed-door university seminar or executive boardroom. No recordings or screenshots by participants are permitted.

Introduction to CEB Exercises
A consensus of emotion researchers throughout the world agree on these five Universal Emotions: Fear, Anger, Sadness, Disgust and Enjoyment. Emotions that all humans beings have in common, no matter where they are from or how they were raised.
Our emotions unfold on a timeline. It begins with a trigger that initiates an emotional experience and ultimately results in a response. Usually occurring in less than one second. Having awareness of this process is one of the keys to emotional balance.

Sadness is a response to loss and it often elicits the need for comfort and connection. Sadness is the longest lasting emotion, and it is the closest to a mood. Sometimes sadness can persist for a long time.
We get angry when something blocks us or when we think we're being treated unfairly. Anger can establish a boundary. Research is unclear about whether the wish to harm is built into anger, or if it is something we learn, but it is often part of the anger process and can lead to harm that we later regret.
The disgust response appears at around age four. We learn that the target of disgust is to be kept away from, it is unclean, dirty or socially/morally reprehensible. Feeling disgusted when we encounter something toxic helps us avoid being poisoned, physically or socially.
Enjoyment describes the many good feelings that arise from life experiences both new and familiar. From an evolutionary perspective, enjoyable emotions encourage us to participate in activities that are necessary for the survival.
