Better boundaries create better teams. Let’s start building them—together.

Outcomes: Improved communication, decreased workplace conflict, improved teamwork

Do you ever find yourself blurting out “yes” to a request when you really want to say “no?”

Many of us have been conditioned to people-please, going beyond giving of ourselves to the point of giving up ourselves. This leads to exhaustion, anger, and some really ugly resentment. It doesn’t have to be this way!

In this session, attendees will learn how to apply The Clash Principle to their decision-making process.

You will:

✅ Identify and honor your needs                                        ✅ Learn a 3-step process to determine if “yes” is the right response for you                                                                    ✅ Understand why saying “no” now, allows you to say “yes” later

You’re faced with decisions every single day. It’s time to do what’s right for you and learn “Should I yay, or should I no?”

Outcomes: Decrease workplace conflict, improve teamwork, increase workplace motivation, clearer communication

Better boundaries create better teams. Let’s start building them—together.

Nonprofits are the perfect breeding ground for unhealthy boundaries. You take passionate, community-minded, well-meaning individuals, put them up against a gigantic societal problem, and then give them approximately one-quarter of the resources they need to get the job done… and they will do it.

Unfortunately, they will do it at the expense of their own well-being.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Audience Takeaways

• Understand the inner and outer effects of dysfunctional boundaries.
• Identify the underlying issues causing unhealthy boundaries (and how to fix them).
• Distinguish between “giving Of yourself” and “giving UP yourself.”
• Better define roles and responsibilities.
• Learn how to set and communicate healthy boundaries to improve productivity, relationships, and well-being.

Protect your most valuable asset – your employees (and yourself) and create a culture of Sustainable Service. 

Outcomes: Banish burnout, lower turnover, increase workplace motivation
