Friday, January 17, 2025 from 12:00pm to 2:00pm New York time
Class will be recorded for all registrants and available for viewing for one month.
In this Highlight, Lauren will share why people-pleasing develops in the first place, what keeps it stuck and how Focusing can help it shift.
Do you find it hard to say “No” when someone asks you to do something you really don’t want to do? Maybe, you’d like to say “No” but there’s some kind of block. So, instead you find yourself saying, “Sure. No problem!” It’s frustrating to feel one way and then act in an entirely different way… again and again AND again. You may even beat yourself up for doing so. If so, you're not alone.
Participants will be introduced to a fresh set of skills, which can help with making decisions and navigating discussions with greater clarity, confidence and ease.
Some familiarity with Focusing may be helpful but no prior experience with Focusing is required. All are welcome to attend and participate.
Format
We use Zoom videoconferencing for our online classes. In this webinar format, you will see the presenter and host, but you will not be seen. You will be able to ask questions during the webinar by typing them. Highlights presenters may at times invite a small number of participants to unmute or join them onscreen during the webinar (optional).
You will need to have a computer/mobile device. Calling in by phone is also possible but not preferred. All registered participants will be sent a link to the video recording approximately two weeks following the class. So if you are unable to attend the live webinar, you will still be able to view it for one month.
