Building Self Esteem

Building Self Esteem

You can’t develop self-esteem until you figure out why you don’t have it, and why and how you compensate for not having it. Everything in your life—the quality of your health, relationships and creativity completely emerges and evolves from your understanding and your practice of self-esteem.

Some describe your ability to protect your self and take charge as self-esteem. Really that’s only the beginning. Self-esteem is the manifestation of your spirit engaged in action in your life. Your self-esteem is actually your spirit in action. Low self-esteem is a spiritual crisis for many, as we watch ourselves and others behave in harmful ways. Every choice you make describes how you feel about yourself.
Our goal in this workshop will be to offer participants an opportunity to
acquire tools for building self-esteem today, and move beyond those negative messages from a painful past.

Building Relationships

Building Relationships

In this workshop participants will have the opportunity to look at relationship with self, partners, family and community.

Bringing a clearer understanding of how to be in a healthy relationship with ‘self’ is most important. Through this, one gains understanding of how to create healthy, joyful and fulfilling relationships outside of self. This allows us to move beyond the understanding or expectation that relationships outside of ourselves offer the answer to our happiness. This can potentially relieve individuals from that eternal search for something that resides within each one of us. Loving self, accepting self, respecting self and being open to change, are part of this workshop.

Experiential exercises will be used to assist individuals to see what they bring into relationship and how they may be reacting to their own pain. When we understand more clearly what the term “co-dependant” is, we can see our own trauma, understand our history, and the ripple effect from generations before, and how they are all elements that impact relationships. Many great teachers from the past have said, “know yourself”. This workshop reminds people that exploration of self will bring understanding of behaviour, choices and healing.

Team Building With Nonviolent Communication

Team Building With Nonviolent Communication

Poor communication in the workplace can lead to inefficiency, employee dissatisfaction and even psychological and physical safety issues. Through NVC training, co-workers become more aware of how they might be contributing to disconnecting conversations. This awareness brings immense opportunity to express more harmony and mutual respect. The flow in the workplace will change as individuals embrace the teachings of NVC: fewer sick days and decreased employee turnover result from the ability to address challenges at work without fear of a conversation going sideways. When we feel heard and understood at work, the result is respect, cooperation, and higher performance.

Conflict Resolution Through NVC

Conflict Resolution Through NVC

Nonviolent Communication has revolutionized the way people communicate when the stakes are high. Reaching solutions are much higher when NVC skills are applied to the conversation. Practicing mutual respect when entering into difficult conversations is crucial to being able to reach solutions and agreement, as each party needs to feel heard so their needs and values are met. How to say what needs to be said while avoiding an argument is all part of the conversation. Feelings and unmet needs will be tracked to create a space where both parties are able to hear each other. Connecting through empathic listening opens a field for having meaningful connection between people who are disagreeing. These skills have been applied between warring parties in real life with amazing results.
