Learn the Power of NO - and how to use resistance to empower a group.

What if saying "No" could bring people closer together rather than further apart? Power of No explores how resistance (our own and others’) can be a transformative force for connection, clarity, and empowerment. Through real-life scenarios and reflective practice, this workshop helps participants understand the deeper dynamics behind "Yes" and "No" and how to engage with resistance as a pathway to closer relationships and more authentic group collaboration.

In this workshop, participants will:

• Explore what happens internally (emotionally and physically) when we say “Yes” but mean “No,” or when we hear or express a genuine “No.”

• Understand the hidden costs of suppressing resistance—loss of identity, disconnection, stress

• Identify common signs of resistant behavior, like avoidance, sarcasm, gossip, and excuses. Learn how suppressed "No's" can manifest in partnerships, families, and organizations

• Discover how to respond to resistant behavior (in yourself and others) using practical tools that transform resistance into connection and clarity.

• Practice naming the unspoken—the "un-discussables"—to equalize power and build empathy

This workshop is ideal for anyone looking to strengthen communication and trust in families, couples, teams, or organizations by embracing the power of resistance rather than fighting it. Find the wisdom in resistance.
