Start reclaiming your power.We’ve been told that boundaries are about telling other people how to behave. We think that if our boss emails us at 9:00 PM or a friend demands too much of our time, they are breaking our boundaries.The hard truth? No one can break your boundaries but you.Join us for a transformative session with Communication Coach Jolie Higazi designed specifically for professionals who are tired of the "people-pleasing" cycle. In this workshop, we’re moving past the buzzwords to explore the reality of personal accountability. You’ll learn why boundaries aren't walls to keep people out, but the gates that allow you to have the relationships that feel aligned.We will move beyond theory into practice, giving you the space to inventory your life and identify exactly where you’ve been giving your power away.Key Takeaways:The Accountability Shift: Understand why a boundary is a promise you make to yourself, not a rule you enforce on others.The Myth of "The Boundary Breaker": Discover why the stress you feel from others' behavior is actually a signal for you to change, not them.The Power of the Authentic 'No': Learn how to tune inward and stop the reflexive "yes" that leads to burnout.Personal Inventory & Practice: Walk away with a customized list of boundaries tailored to your current professional and personal needs.Bio: Jolie Higazi is a professional coach specializing in communication and emotional intelligence.
