People-persons work with people and really enjoy working with people. We use any excuse really to get-together with others, we know relationships are a contact sport.
People-persons tend to pick professions where there is high contact with others - think health care, education, human services, service oriented companies where people matter - the list is long.
While we seek to work in places where people matter, we do tend to have one vulnerability with people immersion, and that is how do we take care of our ourselves when there are so many others to focus on?
Our attention tends to go outward onto others. We are good at noticing others, and after all, that is what makes us people-persons, noticing and caring about others.
However, when our attention is on other people for the majority of the day, it can be hard to notice what is happening to us. Did I stop to eat today? Did I just say yes to something that I don't have time to do?
Did I just "over-help" someone?
It can be hard to take care of yourself when your attention is on others. For some people-persons, when their people job ends during the day, they come to a family that needs their attention and care as well. People-persons may find themselves needed by others at work and at home.
If you are a people-person, I have designed a workshop to help you use your boundaries to take care of yourself, while you care for others.
Some people-persons find themselves struggling with their boundaries in the face of other people.
Join me for one of my upcoming Transform Your Boundaries® workshop and in 3 hours, you will focus on how to stay connected to you while you work/ live with others. These are skills that can be used at home and at work.
Limited seating to ensure a personal experience pre-register to attend:$150/person includes book, card deck of boundary skills, and a 3 hour workshop intensive.
