Surviving the Swirl of the Holidays Without Losing Your Temper.

Tension and stress only increase from now until January – we all know that. Who hasn’t had a regrettable clash with a coworker or family member during a holiday season that would never have happened in June? We all want the holidays to go well. Our great expectations of ‘peace on earth’ can be easily dashed with the inevitable pressures, time crunches, and schedule conflicts that arise at this time of year. Stressful times lead to irritability; lack of patience and poor communication with our closest colleagues and dearest loved ones. The solution? New communication skills and tips from Dr. Rhoberta Shaler, internationally known author and speaker. Try these out to make your holiday season smoother (- list of tips from her book goes here.)

When you learn how to communicate clearly, ask for what you need and want, and teach people how to treat you, you will find that conflict is much easier to handle, and better yet, more effectively prevented in the first place!

Dr. Rhoberta Shaler, founder of Optimize! Institute in Escondido, California presents a half-day seminar on just those skills.
Wrestling Rhinos . . . And Winning!
Monday, December 6 – 1:00-4:30pm at the YWCA Downtown Vancouver
(535 Hornby Street). Based on her new book, Wrestling Rhinos: Conquering Conflict in the Wilds of Work, this seminar provides practical, easy to remember steps and strategies for cooling off conflict and turning confrontation into conversation. Learn how to communicate effectively by being totally honest and totally kind at the same time.
$95 per person if you register by Nov 26. $115 after Nov 26.
“ Rhoberta Shaler has distilled for you a wealth of specific recommendations to take the anxiety and intimidation out of your workdays. Conflict will always exist but those who can manage it well become masters of it, not victims.” - Jim Cathcart, Author of ‘The Acorn Principle™’
