I learned how to say Yes to myself and the relationship, while finding a clearly defined and negotiated No that feels flexible, loving and connected.”

To live the life you want or to create the world What do you say Yes to? and What do you say No to? The journey to one deep Yes is paved with a thousand Nos:
• To requests and demands contrary to your interests • To behaviors that disrespect you and others • To policies and practices that are contrary to your vision We often swallow our No out of fear or because we have not connected to our deepest Yes. When we root ourselves in our Yes, our hearts remain open even as we set clear boundaries. We bring more of ourselves and invite more of the other into dialog and collaboration. Come learn how to find your deep Yes and deliver a firm No with respect for you and the relationship. Practice using situations from your life, and get feedback to refine your delivery. You will leave able to: • Identify your default approach to saying No, its costs and benefits • Use a simple formula to say No at home, at work, and in the world • Set clean boundaries and stay in relationship • Say Yes to what brings you most alive
