Workshop details

This unique workshop covers:

Confidence in clarity and expectation management
We’ll dive deep into strategies that enable clear and confident communication, even in the most challenging situations.

Properly brilliant boundary setting
Learn the secrets to establishing kind, yet firm boundaries that prioritise both respect and collaboration – and aren’t A) about getting your bolshy boots on, nor B) requiring of a personality transplant.

Step into your authority for better collaboration
Gain actionable insights to shift from a passive ‘doing FOR’ mindset to a proactive ‘working WITH’ approach, ensuring mutual respect in professional interactions.

Hands-on learning
Bring your real-life, real-time challenges in terms of pressures you’re put under – last minute requests, chronic underappreciation of your knowledge and skillset, impossible deadlines….argh!
We’ll have some time to strategise together so you feel calm, clear and equipped on how to navigate those conversations with as much calm as kindness.
