Requests that Rock: Feeding Your Living Energy
With Mark Friedman, CNVC Certification Candidate, Season of Celebration Co-Organizer
Registration is Free!
Donations are Welcomed!
About this workshop:
If Needs are our Living Energy, then Requests are the means by which we Feed our Living Energy!
However, sometimes, in our commitment to be still and not only "do", we may fall so in love with the connection we form with the needs we discover, that we lose sight of making a request.
In "Requests that Rock: Feeding Your Living Energy," we will not only practice making requests; we will also explore how to make bold and powerful requests that more naturally lead to a "Yes" through considering what is important to ourselves, what is important to the recipients of our requests, and the quality of connection we form between ourselves and those with whom we are engaging.
