  • Members of the organization aren't having fun at work or in meetings.
  • There is a constant feeling of never being able to accomplish enough. 
  • There is a desire to more fully embody values of connection and communication. 
  • You are having trouble identifying and addressing difficult shadow dynamics. 
  • You want to be more creative as a team. 
  • You want to learn how to play together. 
  • You want to find more innovative ways to meet your organizational goals.

Re-invent how you engage with conflict using conflict theory, powerful role plays, creativity and group dialogue. ​
TRAINING DESCRIPTION 
Conflict is everywhere: in the family, at work, in our friendships, in our romantic relationships, and even with complete strangers in the street. We are constantly confronted with actions and ideas that make us feel all sorts of difficult emotions. This is normal, and in fact desirable. Conflict holds the seeds for our own transformation through a deep invitation for growth and understanding of different realities. 

Unfortunately, many of us have not learned healthy ways of engaging with conflict and connecting with its potential. Typical maladaptive responses to conflict include ignoring it, emotionally distancing, exploding or over facilitating. In this program, we will be creating a new pathway, where you engage with conflict with confidence, honesty and compassion, all while respecting your needs and boundaries. Even in the most difficult situations, there are always pathways forward. By dancing with and exploring conflict creatively, we can find freedom in our most challenging interpersonal situations. 
TESTIMONIALS 
​This is an essential course allowing participants to learning this fundamental life skill of how to dance gracefully through conflict. It was facilitated with brilliant clarity, humour, experience, knowledge, tremendous skill and empathy. 
What brilliantly inspiring coaching and modelling!
I normally hate roleplays but I loved them here. The rest of the group was so supportive and lovely.  
I learned how to understand the structure of conflict so that I could lean into the discomfort of the process, not to rush to solutions or apologies (or defence!) but allow for a resolution to emerge with reflective caring listening, a desire to understand and request to be understood guiding the steps.

Craft a meaningful and inspiring life narrative. 
TRAINING DESCRIPTION
Without always realizing it, we sometimes carry life narratives that do not support us. While the specifics vary, usually these negative narratives often hold the common thread that there is some fault in us. Examples: 
  • We failed 
  • We missed the boat 
  • We aren't good at anything 
  • We weren't successful 
  • We were the victim ​
Instead of letting these disempowering narratives sit dormant in us and sap our power, we can use our creativity to craft a new life narrative that, while using the exact same life events, brings us inspiration. You start by mapping out key moments that comprise your life, and then re-imagine your relationships to them. 

This is not therapy and it is also not about denying the pain that exists. Here, the goal is to experiment with different creative and visual tools to better understand our power to reimagine our life narratives.

THE COMMUNICATION SKILLS YOUR FAMILY NEVER LEARNED 
TRAINING DESCRIPTION
The family is one of the most powerful structures that exists. It is a constellation that in the best cases can bring us a deep sense of love and connection.  

Unfortunately families can also get mired in their differences and long running stories of hurt. How can a family with vastly different worldviews still connect, communicate, and have fun together? It is possible, but it requires communication frameworks, practice and some old fashioned effort.  

By having these conversations and setting up powerful family agreements, a lifelong deeper connection is possible. 

This training is not offered from a therapeutic angle, meaning there will be no work done attempting to heal any past family wounds. Instead, the focus is on building a specific communication skill set that allows your family to connect deeply using dialogue. When this skill set is in place, the stage is set for the healing to happen in your own time. 
​LOGISTICS 
  • Schedule: 3 x 2 hour sessions (total of 6 hours)
  • Price: $600.00 CAD per family (+ applicable taxes) 
  • For families with children older than 12
  • Sessions offered privately to individual families
  • This training can be done with missing family members
LEARNING OBJECTIVES 
  • Learn clear models for communication together. 
  • Identify ways that you like to have fun together as a family. 
  • Learn communication traps that your family can easily fall into and tricks to avoid them. 
​METHODS 
  • Initial survey
  • Group agreements
  • Communication styles 
  • Conflict theory
