Have you ever had problems with your co-workers?
Good news! Solutions are at your fingertips in the recent THIS Leader podcast episode Workplace Boundaries. You can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and the THIS Leader website.
In this episode, I talk with podcast host Claire Laughlin about strategies and skills for setting and respecting boundaries.
Claire has been a Kidpower leader for over 30 years. Many people in our community find her free newsletter and podcast series to be inspiring and extremely useful, not only for their work, but also for their personal lives.
One of the many resources Claire has helped us develop is our Fullpower Workplace Boundaries Personal Practice tool that you can use to prepare for difficult boundary-setting conversations.
Boundaries strengthen relationships at work – and everywhere else. And, safe, strong relationships help to reduce isolation, protect mental health, and increase happiness and success in life!
