Limit Setting for Women in Business: A Mindful Resilience(TM) E-Class

Description

Many women are stressed by others making demands beyond what they know is good for them. They are willing to support boundaries for others or even be “mama bears” for their children but find it very challenging to establish boundaries and set limits for themselves. As a business woman, you must be able to set limits with supervisors and peers, your employees and clients, and your venders in order to be effective at work, run a business that is efficient, and have a life in which you do not burn out.

This class explores how to set limits in a way that is clear and direct, but also calm and respectful. We will explore your baseline, how to determine what you need, tips on how to ask for what you want as well as some ways to work with your internal experience to help you feel calm and more grounded when you set these types of limits. Mindfulness-based tools will be woven into the work. We will also talk some about managing possible consequences of establishing boundaries because you will not always be supported in this process.

This e-class includes 5 audios (10-20 minutes in length) that walk you through the material and offer tools that you can use in your business life. There is a handout for each of the classes so you can put into practice what you are learning and keep track of your progress.
