Creating Work-Life Balance (1 day)

Being out of balance can lead to unproductive patterns in both our work and personal environments.  Left unaddressed, people will eventually become ineffective in their roles.  It is important to periodically assess the demands of life, decide on priorities and foster habits that allow balance to be regained and maintained.  This workshop helps identify patterns that may cause imbalance and offers practical approaches, exercises and tips for living well.  Coping skills are taught and a personal care plan is developed for assisting people in effectively navigating the demands and pressures they face.

Sometimes stress, personality differences or other precipitating factors can lead to conflict between individuals or within an entire group.  Many conflicts would not spiral out of control if people used conflict resolution techniques that are easy to learn and utilize.

Assertive Communication (1 day)

Understanding our communication style and how we interact with others is essential to positive and productive relations.  Effective communication requires us not only to be aware of ourselves, but also to be responsive and aware of others.  Being assertive in communication is the ability to express positive and negative ideas and feelings in a transparent, welcoming and direct way – to state clearly and without defensiveness what one needs.  Participants of this workshop will build an awareness of their communication patterns and learn to deal confidently with people around them.  This workshop is fun, practical and highly effective at improving communication awareness and skills.

Negotiation for Life: Getting what you Need (2-day)

We negotiate ways to meet our needs and the needs of people we represent on a daily basis - from mundane matters like who will cook supper to more weighty subjects such as sharing work space or the terms of contracts.  Negotiation is often based on unconscious patterns that result in less beneficial outcomes than is desired. In this workshop, participants will be challenged to become conscious of their negotiation patterns and approaches in order to utilize essential strategies and skills to get the most from their negotiations.  Participants will explore a variety of negotiation strategies and styles that are applicable in both relational and financial/contract matters.
