How to Say No (without feeling guilty) 
(Mon evenings at 6:30 pm, Jan 25-Feb 8):
Saying no is a tough job.  How do you do this in a way that's kind, without being egotistical or self-centred - and without beating yourself up?   
Join Shulamit Ber Levtov, MA, RSW for 3 free, interactive evening workshops that will teach you 4 key principles for saying No. You will have opportunities to experiment with these principles and receive coaching for implementing them in everyday life.  
The workshops run Jan 25th, Feb 1, and 8 from 6:30-8:00 pm.  You are welcome to brown-bag your dinner.  For more information about Shulamit, see www.shula.ca .
