Workshop Description
Experiencing conflict, establishing consent, and setting boundaries are fundamental communication skills for basic human interaction. And yet, we are rarely taught the how and why of these 3 major contributors to healthy communication. In this workshop, we will learn and practice enforcing our boundaries and attaining authentic and enthusiastic consent as methods of conflict management and non-violent communication.
Objectives
Learners will be able to
- Explore the complexities of and learn to establish effective and thoughtful boundaries
- Identify the relationship between needs, standards, boundaries, and consent
- Utilize non-violent communication to aid in recognizing and correcting boundary violations in differing environments

(he/they)
Hello There! My name is Grant (he/they), and I am so excited to walk down this path of learning and growth together with you!
This topic is very important to me, as I have extensive training on Authentic Consent and Boundaries, and regularly utilize Interpersonal Psychotherapy as a modality of practice.
In this course, you reflect and change the way you conceptualize boundaries, and help you to increase your skills with navigating your own.

Wonder what others are saying about Grant?
"Grant's presentation style both captivates attention and clearly communicates the material. In every speaking engagement I've seen he delivers information that is a blend of strong academic backing and, when appropriate, his wealth of personal lived experience. He is consistently receptive to questions and finds ways to encourage engagement from those who are in attendance. Time spent at his engagements is time invested in one's own professional development."

“I have attended several of Grant’s presentations, and he has come to every one with a blend of compassion, expertise, personal experiences, and dedication that not only helps the audience to learn complex concepts but to feel what he is teaching and to feel seen themselves. He is a wonderful presenter and educator, and I look forward to Grant’s future talks and workshops.”
