When Empathy Isn't Enough: Making Requests with Ease and Accuracy

Cultivating empathy is essential to developing loving and compassionate relationships. While it is incredibly valuable to work on developing our awareness of feelings, underlying needs/values, and empathy, sometimes we forget to craft doable and elegant requests. Learning how to make requests from others, without attachment to the strategy of an outcome, is key to creating relationships based on equality and compassion.

Requests are where creativity really comes in, and this can be a lot of fun!

Join us for a highly interactive online workshop to deepen your capacity for making requests to navigate challenging situations, improve your relationships, and help foster greater self-care.

We will:

  • practice crafting requests that are specific, doable and time-bound
  • get clear about different types of request
  • make sure we link requests to needs so that they are accurately met 
  • learn how to make sure your request is not a demand
  • look for efficient and easy ways to meet needs
  • gain awareness of needs that may come up around Christmas and prepare some requests

The holidays can be stressful, with lots of people around and lots of unmet needs. We'll look at Chistmas self-care requests and strategies for making requests of others with care and empathy.
