Saying No & Declining Others' Requests

Are you comfortable and ready-to-hand with saying “No” ~ declining?
What if you need to insist?

We’re continuing to practice having more effective conversations this month with Declining Others’ Requests ~ another area many women struggle with and give up their ground regularly. If you missed Making Effective Requests last month, don’t worry, there is no ‘right’ order, these are all fundamental elements to ‘conversations’ for effective action and maintaining good/strong personal and business relationships.

What stops you or gets in the way of being effective holding your own, making requests and taking care of yourself and your needs? Does it unleash the self-critical chatter that constantly chimes in with some version of I didn’t do it right or well, who am I to ask, I’m not good enough?

In this meetup we’ll:
• discuss the map of an effective ‘conversation’. Yes there’s actually a roadmap! Knowing this helps assess where you are in the process as well as where the ‘breakdown’ occurred ~ how helpful is that?
• practice declining requests so you become aware, somatically, of where you contract and hold in your body and begin to move more effectively and peacefully through the lifetime of conversations ahead of you!

These distinctions and somatic tools enable you to have more harmonious and meaningful relationships at home & work. They create the possibility of changing and evolving while staying true to your core values.

$15 at the door includes light snacks and refreshments. Please arrive on time to give yourself time to get food, socialize, and get settled.

Address is San Jose/Willow Glen area and will be provided a few days beforehand to all registrants.

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you soon!
