Below is the schedule of offerings:
📚 Program Curriculum
Module 1: The Problem Solving Pandemic
🤗 Supporting over Solving | 🎞 Mirroring | 🔍 Gentle Inquiry
At work, our value and status is defined by our ability to solve problems. You will learn how to be emotionally supportive without trying to provide solutions to others.
Module 2: The Dark Matter of Relationships
🤸♀️ Pleasure over Proving | ⭐️ Affirmation | 🔗 Attunement
Between each person you interact with, a thread is formed. How it strengthens and weakens over time often feels like something that happens to us, not something within our control. We’ll learn how to proactively communicate to strengthen our ties with those that matter.
Module 3: The Intelligence of Emotions
🎭 Congruence over Composure | 🚪 Disclosure | 🌡 Temperature Check
Imagine driving a car without knowing the speed and how much gas is left. That’s what communication without awareness of your emotions is like: driving blind. You will learn how to read your “inner dashboard” called emotions to better inform how you engage with others.
Module 4: The Declaration of Interdependence
❤️🩹 Heartbreak over Harmony | 🧲 Invitation | 🚦 Boundaries
One of the greatest challenges of relationships is being with others without losing ourselves - to share what we really need and resist bending over backwards to get those needs met. You will learn how to advocate for yourself through the art of asking and saying no.
