Having trouble saying no, getting patients out the door, or turning down committee requests? Come explore the roller coaster of boundary setting.
In today's fast-paced work environment, leaders often face complex emotions such as grief and feelings of futility that can arise both in the workplace and in their personal lives. This course, led by Angela Stathakos, Nonviolent Communication facilitator, business leader and mother, is specifically designed for professional women seeking personal development and emotional intelligence skills to enhance their careers and navigate life’s challenges. Participants will leave the course with a deeper understanding of their emotional experiences, practical communication skills, and writing techniques to process and articulate, as well as understand and share their feelings. Participants will learn these skills within a supportive network of peers who share similar challenges and aspirations.
Through this course, participants will explore the transformative concepts of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), equipping themselves with essential communication skills that serve to empower physicians with the awareness and confidence to set healthy boundaries and advocate for their own needs.
What's going on here?
- Identify and understand the nuances of grief and futility in both professional and personal contexts.
- Apply Nonviolent Communication techniques to enhance relationships and foster a
supportive work environment. - Cultivate emotional resilience through a writing tool that encourage self-reflection and clarity.
- Transform challenging emotions into opportunities for connection, collaboration, and growth.
Meet Angela.
(It may be the best choice
you make all year.)

Angela is a bit of a jack of all trades and loves to have her hands in multiple pots at the same time. When she is not working you can find her digging in the garden, walking through the woods, learning how to surf, writing poetry, and reading about human behaviour, medicinal plants, and whales!

When?
4 Weeks of 90-minute sessions with a Non-violent Communication Expert, organizational leader, and general Jack (Jill?) of all trades (like seriously, all the trades).
What?
Who?
This is a beautiful course for anyone that's realized that when the time comes to speak up, they find themselves reticent or even silent. Perhaps it's when they hold an unpopular opinion, or when they need to give critical feedback, or when they need to RSVP "no" to a party. Whatever the case, there are a number of people out there who are tired of defaulting to "polite" and "professional" over "authentic" and if this is you, the teacher has appeared. It's Angela.
And the time is now.
