## ​**🍕Summer-end Pizza Party!**

​​Last things first. This will be our first class after the summer holidays, so we’ll be welcoming you (plus some new faces) back and celebrating the reopening of Iron John Academy with pizza and drinks.

## ​**​🙋 What is this class about?**

​​Every man has faced that moment. When a talk turns tense, voices harden, and what mattered most gets lost between words. Maybe it was with your partner, your boss, or someone else.
​​This workshop is about finding another way.
​​Coaches **Katie** and **Lee** will guide you through a framework that helps men speak with clarity and listen with presence. It’s a simple, four-step practice that turns conflict into understanding and makes it possible to stay strong *and* connected, even in the heat of emotion.
​​Clear speech. Calm strength. Real connection. These are the marks of a man who leads from within.

## ​**​🧑‍🎓 What will you learn?**

​​​By the end of this workshop, you'll understand and be able to:

1. ​​​Label your emotions beyond MAD, SAD, GLAD, SCARED, and NUMB.
2. ​​​Identify judgment words - *“You work too slowly.”* → judgment (what’s “too” slow?)
3. ​​​Replace judgment with observation - “It took 6 hours to complete the task” or “I saw the task took all day."
4. ​​​Express your needs - Everyone has the same basic needs: respect, safety, connection, autonomy, meaning, etc. When we speak from our needs, it builds a bridge of connection.
5. ​​​Make non-pressure requests, giving people the autonomy to choose. It's about co-creating solutions, not issuing commands.

## ​**​​📝 Workshop Format**

​​​Katie and Lee know the best learning transformations come from real-time practice. This isn’t a lecture, it’s a **hands-on workshop**.
​​​We’ll:

* ​​​Introduce a concept
* ​​​Practice it together
* ​​​Repeat in a fun, supportive way

​​​You’ll explore this topic through case studies and real-life examples, mixing with a variety of people to see how responding, rather than reacting, can positively impact others.
​​​**Expect:**

* ​​​🎭 Interactive role-plays
* ​​ 👀 Clear, easy-to-understand presentations (questions welcome!)
* ​​🎉 Fun games and prompts to practice in real-time

## ​**​📍 The classroom**

​​This time we will hold the class in a social room. So, we can create a space where we can learn from our coaches and each other in a private space.
​​The closest stations are Kanda (7 min) or Otemachi (6 min from exit c2b). The entrance is next to Restaurant Morocco. Take the elevator or stairs to the second floor.
​​Call Leszek at 070-4010-7720 if you can't find us.

## ​**​👋 Meet the Coaches**
