Work Doesn’t Have To Wreck Your Well-being!

Redefine your relationship with work by understanding your limits, bandwidth and actual responsibilities so that you transform your work habits and dramatically reduce anxiety, overwhelm, frustration and resentment. Get your life back, do more of what’s in your wheelhouse instead of taking on too much or agreeing to the wrong stuff, and break the cycle of codependent thinking and behaviour that underpins how you’ve learned to work.

By utilising a powerful framework for recognising your bandwidth and acknowledging boundary issues, including when you need to or should say no and not exploiting yourself or allowing others to exploit you, you will embody and practise healthy work habits. That transformation reclaims, nurtures and prioritises your well-being, leaving you with the space to enjoy your personal life and the work you do.

Leave this course understanding the practicalities of work boundaries and quick ways to hit the ground running, as well as what’s fair and reasonable, strategies for assertive communication, and how to deal with tricky co-workers, bosses, clients and situations without the sky falling.

Is this you?

  • You don’t know when or how to say no.

    You might not even know if you can say no or what your limits are. Maybe you work long hours, are constantly ‘proving’ yourself or taking on more and more work and feeling increasingly crappy. 

  • You’re a people pleaser.

    You sense or know that people pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, overgiving, over-responsibility, playing it small or self-sabotage drive your work habits.

  • Work’s pushing a lot of buttons.

    Work, whether it's your habits, how you feel about it or the people, remind you of childhood dynamics.

  • Your body is feeling the impact of your work habits.

    You act like you’re a machine and have experienced stress-related health symptoms or even burnout, or you have little bandwidth to take care of you or focus on your other priorities, but you don’t know how to break this cycle. 

  • Your confidence has taken a knock.

    Bullying, passive-aggression, bias, gaslighting, microaggressions and the like have been understandably triggering and dented your confidence and confused your sense of your boundaries. 

  • You want to be a better, boundaried manager/boss.

    Your work habits influence and impact others and you want to understand your boundaries so that you can be a better co-worker, manager or boss. 

  • You want to figure out if this is the job/career for you.

    Align your work with who you really are and experience more fulfilment from this area of your life.

  • You want to be more assertive.

    You want scripts, frameworks, tips and tools to help you have the language and confidence to be more assertive, make decisions, and identify and solve issues.

FAQ

  • I have X job/am part-time/self-employed. Is this course for me?

    Yes. If you work and you don’t know what boundaries are and/or you routinely experience anxiety, overwhelm and resentment or repeat frustrations and concerns, you need boundaries. While all jobs vary, the universal principles apply. No matter what job or industry or business, no matter what might be the radical differences in salary or situation, the same fears, complaints and issues show up across the board.

  • Is the course ‘live’?

    No. The classes are pre-recorded, and although the course unfolds over four weeks, you can work through it at your own pace to fit your schedule.

  • What format are the course materials in?

    Video classes (with audio versions) plus accompanying PDF resources.

  • How long do I have access to the course for?

    One year. You also get access to any updates during that period.

  • Where do I access the course?

    After purchase, you will be sent access info. All of my courses are hosted on a dedicated course site.

  • Do I get access to you or 1-to-1 advice?

    For standard course purchases, I run a private Facebook group for students of my courses. Aside from support from your peers, I’m also active in the group. As it’s a self-study course and I want to keep it accessible in terms of pricing, I don’t provide private coaching/consultations. If you get/got the course as part of The Joy of Saying No pre-order bonus offer, Facebook group access isn’t included.

  • I don’t want to become a selfish/difficult/whatever person. Am I going to be expected to say no all the time?

    In short, no. Boundaries are as much about saying yes as they are about no. However, reclaiming your work boundaries means being more mindful with yes and saying no more than you used to so that when you invariably do something that’s maybe not your responsibility, favourite thing or priority, or you help someone out or have a lot going on, work doesn’t break you. You have some wiggle room and perspective.

  • What’s the time commitment?

    It’s about two hours a week to watch/listen to the class and go through the resources. As it’s self-study, work at a pace that suits you.
