Course description
Do you always put yourself second? Come and learn effective techniques to help you to put your own needs first. Based on the book, No More Mr Nice Guy, this course has been adapted to be relevant for men and women, as most of us have people-pleasing habits. We will discuss the characteristics that make someone a 'people pleaser'. Each week we will do activities to identify behaviours that don't work for you and how to change them. The activities are designed to help you discover more effective ways of meeting your own needs which will make your relationships with others healthier.
Expected learning outcomes
- Express yourself more effectively
- Learn new ways to get your needs met
- Create the kind of relationships you really want
- Feel more powerful and confident
What do you need to bring?
Just yourself. We'll provide all the materials for this course ($8).
Testimonials
I'm really enjoying the people pleasing course so far! I think that there is a great group of us in the class and Julia does a wonderful job at facilitating safe and open conversations. The homework is also great for self reflection. I think my only negative about the course may be that 6 weeks is not quite enough time to really work through all of the course content - it may be better formatted as an 8 week course in my opinion. 2022
I am seeing real progress in my ability to advocate for myself and not be as people pleasing as I was before the course began and have been recommending it to my friends and co-workers for next year. 2022
I would like comment that I really enjoyed the class - Julia West was a very competent facilitator which made the group a safe environment to share experiences. A 2022
