Coffee Chat

Join us on Thursday, August 15, as we continue our KC IABC coffee series on personal development for communicators. Our guest speaker will be JL Heather, who will speak on "Building and Maintaining Boundaries."

The lines between work and personal time often blur, leading to burnout, decreased productivity, and strained relationships. It's time to talk about the critical importance of establishing clear boundaries to foster a healthier, more productive work environment.

Let's explore the concept of professional boundaries highlighting various types, including time, workload, communication, personal, and values-based boundaries.

Attendees will gain insights into why maintaining boundaries is essential to driving a positive impact on leadership, productivity, decision-making, communication, creativity, and overall well-being.

The discussion will also cover practical strategies for setting and upholding boundaries, tailored specifically for professionals. From effective time management techniques and prioritizing tasks to mastering the art of saying no and communicating expectations clearly, participants will leave equipped with actionable tools to enhance their work-life balance.

The event is free. Coffee Chat begins at 7:30 a.m. at Urban Prairie Coffee, 5606 Johnson Dr., Mission, KS. Hope to see you there!

P.S. A special bonus! JL will have copies of his book, "The Agile Code: The Principles of Leading Agile Teams," to give away to attendees.
