Define and assess your boundaries in different workplace situations
Identify how your values and integrity can serve as a foundation to inform your goals and plans
Increase your energy, optimism, self-confidence, self-compassion, motivation, and success
Learn if your boundaries are values-motivated, approval-seeking, or perfectionism-motivated.
Identify where your boundaries are working and where changes need to be made
Address your perfectionism, imposter syndrome, burnout, avoidance, oppression fatigue, fear of failure, procrastination, and self-doubt
Make decisions motivated more by your values and less by “performative martyr-ship”
Transform your goals into practical steps, real action, and change
Shift from stuckness and shame to movement and expansiveness
Address your internal and external roadblocks
Using a strengths-based model, create a plan with accountability touchpoints, and make your vision and plans become reality
Develop a clearer understanding of how the interpersonal coping strategies of FIGHT, FLEE, FREEZE, FAWN, or FADE may impact your work and working environment, and develop techniques to manage your emotional reactions and stay grounded.
