"Beautiful Boundaries" workshop

Ah the beauty and wonder (I'm totally serious) of being able to admire Elvis' jumpsuits at Graceland - all due to protective boundaries!

The glass cabinets keep Elvis' jumpsuits safe and preserved for all of us Elvis fans to admire and ogle, for now and years and years down the track. Here's the beauty of boundaries on display - a line put down to draw the space between one thing and another - between the drooling fan and wonderful memoribilia!

Upcoming Workshop Dates

Due to the current Covid19 challenges things have changed for face-to-face learning, so stay tuned for on-line workshops.

Beautiful Boundaries Workshop

Boundaries. Tough stuff. It seems that putting down personal boundaries is a tough gig for a lot of us. In fact even knowing you may need a boundary can be challenging. But it doesn't have to be so tough - it's like erecting an emotional glass cabinet, or a balistrade, just like at Graceland on the left, to protect both parties in an interaction.

This workshop is based on a training session specifically designed for the corporate world where people were struggling with putting down and communicating professional boundaries. The learning worked a treat! In fact, from discussions well after training, the feedback was that the learning had made a huge impact in their personal life, allowing them to set and maintain healthy boundaries with family and friends. BINGO - a new workshop is born!

So, for anyone who doesn't know what a boundary is, or has challenges erecting them or maintaining them, if you suffer from guilt or anxiety about what to emotionally give to others and what to keep for yourself, then this could be a great way to learn some skills in a relaxed and safe way.

Through a range of fun activities, discussion and quiet reflection time, you'll walk away with a greater understanding of you and your behaviour around boundary setting, and with some new skills on how to set and maintain them, PLUS a practical and positive Action Map to cement your learning and self discoveries.

This is a day of empowerment, openness, and excitment in taking control and setting boundaries.

Who would enjoy it?

Calling those who have trouble putting down boundaries!!! People of all ages and backgrounds struggle with boundaries, with drawing that line in the sand of what's ok and what's not. Parents with their kids, friends with their friends, daughters with their parents, people in new jobs, people who aren't confident with some relationships, those who are generally passive...in fact all of us struggle with this in our lives at some point. If you'd like to learn how beautiful boundaries can be, and how to go about setting them, then this is the workshop for you.

This workshop fits well with the Assertiveness 101 workshop - it doesn't matter which one you do first, they are complementary to each, and yet they both stand alone.

What will we cover?

The workshop will be a fluid and organic process driven by the learners - however some of the topics we'll workshop are:
    - Boundaries - what, why and how
    - The beauty of boundaries
    - The Relationship Continuum
    - Observer Mode and Circle of Influence
    - Rescuer/Victim/Persecuter game
    - Boundary crossings and violations
    - The Four Friends of Boundaries
    - Setting healthy boundaries
