Lesson 2 – Personality Archetypes – who are you?

Lesson 4 – Case Study of a typical giver vs a typical taker

Lesson 4 starts with a case study of a typical friendship relationship between a giver and a taker and then looks at the differences in perspective before asking the question ‘Who’s responsibility is it to make changes’. Insight into other people is a fascinating lesson in understanding that people, especially friends, can understand life in a completely different way which can lead to problems.


Lesson 5 – Workplace Boundaries

Lesson 5 uses a real life case study of an extreme workaholic to teach us why working less is more. If you have a busy responsible job with a demanding boss this may seem unlikely but by understanding how putting healthy boundaries down around work can actually improve your performance, increase respect from others and gain promotion you might change your mind.


Lesson 6 – Family Pressures

Lesson 6 explores the tricky situation of family pressures and obligations. Those you love can unwittingly take advantage and because you love them you want to do your best by them.

Lesson 8 is about getting to grips with the concept that looking after yourself as a priority is selfless and not selfish.

In this lesson you will learn why it is not only OK to take care of your own needs first, it is essential.


Lesson 9 – Ten easy ways to deliver a guilt free ‘No’

Lesson 9 provides you with ten ‘done for you’ ways of saying ‘no’. We know what it’s like, someone puts you on the spot and before you’ve even had chance to think of an appropriate answer your mouth has opened before you’re brain has engaged and you’ve said ‘yes’ again when you wanted to say no. Practice some of these ways of saying no, use whichever resonates with you best, but they will all come across as positive to the receiving person.
