Participants are invited to learn about motivational coaching, negotiation skills, power and balance.

Scenario 1: A friend is having trouble – they keep coming to you to complain, but they never seem to take your advice and the problem is getting worse. What do you do?

Scenario 2: A friend is having trouble and it’s a tough situation – you’re not even sure what they should do, and you’re feeling stuck. You could get involved and try to solve it for them, but that’s backfired in the past. What do you do?

Whether you’re the go-to friend in your group or want to be, this workshop will provide tools and frameworks for supporting friends in tough situations. With interactive instruction and hands-on practice, participants will learn content as well as have opportunities to coach and give feedback to each other.
