Successfully setting boundaries or limits with others is at the foundation of effective relationships, whether at work or in someone's personal life. When we are able to set them, we feel more empowered, focused, and happier. This webinar is an opportunity for you to sharpen your boundary setting skills AND leave with tactics to address common boundary issues.

Event Details

Typical professional boundary issues include:

• We are overwhelmed with demands that are made on us.

• People say they will do something, but they don't do it.

• Roles, responsibilities, and expectations aren't clear.

• Coworkers continually come to meetings late and/or meetings are unproductive.

• Staff members go around us to get things done when they clearly should be asking us first.

• People continually interrupt us

• We take on more assignments than we have time to do well.

• We work late hours at the expense of our family or friends and our own mental and physical well-being.

• We often check our computers and mobile devices after work.

Participants will leave with knowledge about the definition of a "boundary," why people are afraid of setting them, and specific steps they may take that can help them be successful.
