Skip the Small Talk & Speak from the Heart
As we get older, things change… and so do our social connections.
While it can be painful and confusing, this change is natural and healthy. Gift your attendees with the knowledge that the end of one relationship is not the end of their social life and you don’t need to be “fake” to fit in. There are people who really "get" us and welcome us to be our authentic selves.
Key Takeaways Include
Learning the J.I.S.T. method to test authenticity in social connections
Navigating the types of social connections
Knowing the difference between being alone and lonely
Needs, Negotiables & Nevers
There has never been more talk about boundaries in our lives than there is now. We as humans have a desire to define our lives in a way that meets our lifestyle expectations. Yet, we struggle to find balance between work, home, family, friends and ourselves. That’s because we have no clear sense of boundaries!
Strong boundaries promote clear expectations and outcomes as well as give us a sense of autonomy and ownership over our own actions.
Key Takeaways Include
Knowing the benefits of clear boundaries
Learning my 3N framework (Needs, Negotiable, Nevers) of building boundaries
Using appropriate language to convey your boundaries at work, with friends or other connections
Flourishing Friendships
Many times after we’ve met some people that seem like they could be good friends, anxiety about ruining the friendship creeps in. Because we’re afraid of being rejected, we might start people pleasing or performing a character of ourselves instead of being authentic. Let’s stop worrying about what we need to do to fit in to their standards and instead focus on our needs. That’s what makes a flourishing friendship.
