While leadership is a privilege, it comes with a great cost. Yet you do not have to lead alone!

Create a practical plan to be intentional with managing loneliness in AND outside the office
Gain skills to grow question asking that increases connectedness

Cut-Off Culture: The Enemy Within The Family Workshop
Cut-off culture is a rising concern that leads to severing ties, avoiding conflict resolution, and treating human beings as disposable. From dinner tables to social media to holiday gatherings and churches, this type of culture is driving deep wedges with more ripple effects than people realize. The results are increasing mental health concerns, damaged relationships and unnecessary isolation. While we will not always agree with those we do life with, we were not created to live cut off from them. This workshop will equip you to live healthy in a culture bent toward offense.
Attendees will gain:
Awareness of the mental and relational effects of ongoing offense and estrangement
Decipher between ending a relationship for valid concerns versus cutting off the relationship unnecessarily
Understanding of the difference between healthy boundaries and walls
Insight into the role of confirmation bias, curiosity, and perspective
Strategies to cross the divide of estranged relationships
