We all want a conflict-free Christmas.
Seeing friends and family should be a time for ‘ho ho ho’ not ‘no no no’!
Yet, we often run into arguments with family, awkward distant relatives and empty work party conversations.
For every person we want to see there’s someone else who triggers us, fights with us or simply makes us feel uncomfortable.
BUT… there are simple things we can do to understand how our mind works and then turn conversations around to make the holidays a time to celebrate again.
What will we cover?
In this workshop we will explore:
- How to avoid our brain being hijacked by emotion
- Making a game plan for catch ups
- Being yourself and avoiding ‘faking it’
- Staying calm under pressure
- Navigating arguments and politics
- Deeping our connection to those we want to talk to
