Introduction

Boundaries are the limits and rules we set for ourselves within different types of relationships. Personal boundaries are normally set for personal relationships. Professional boundaries are normally set for professional relationships. A person with healthy boundaries can say “no” to others when they want to, but they are also comfortable opening themselves up to intimacy and closeness in their relationships.

Assertive Communication is a style of communication in which a person stands up for and respects their own needs and wants, whilst also taking into consideration the needs and wants of others, without behaving passively or aggressively.

Positive Assertive Communication is about framing your thinking in a way that inspires a movement of love (agape / selfless acts) in your heart - so that your 'no' doesn't close you off, but opens you up to something (or someone) else!

This workshop is intended to support you in your quest to set up boundaries and to be in a place ofcommunicating those boundaries effectively – or at the very least implementing those boundaries.

IMPORTANT: My approach is not the traditional approach to assertiveness. I myself haven't become a 'no' person. I am still a 'yes' person. Rather than pulling on the breaks, closing off my heart and approaching a response as a 'no', I have learned to approach the response from a place of 'yes' - but a 'yes' to something greater or other, than the 'no'. This workshop is designed for people who desire to learn how to say 'no' in a kind and positive way. This is applicable to all kinds of relationships, e.g. personal or professional.
