Confident Relationships
Resolve difficult relationships with ease

Lead more directly and effectively
Are there some conversations that cause you discomfort or self-doubt?
Do you question the best approach with some people you need to relate to? Are you concerned about how they might react, so the situation between you worsens?
Do you sometimes find yourself replaying a conversation and wishing it had gone differently?
Are there some relationships that you would like to put on a different – and better – footing, but are not sure how?
“I was dealing with an unpredictable and emotional boss. Her behaviour was irrational and aggressive - and as a result we all tended to avoid her. After my session with Eve, I felt confident and prepared to have the conversation with my boss and I managed to secure the pay rise I had hoped for.”
With colleagues, or people you manage, it can be difficult to address important issues, and achieve the outcomes you need. With friends or family members unresolved differences or things left unsaid can create tension, resentment and unhelpful patterns of behaviour.
And in leadership roles we may find some conflict between the need to convey clear direction and explicit expectations, whilst at the same time creating positive relationships.
I’ll work with you to devise a constructive strategy to resolve those uncomfortable interpersonal situations. By making sure you can apply really helpful assertiveness principles in the future, you’ll be equipped to approach specific conversations or ongoing relationships with confidence, sure not only of yourself and your skills, but also of the increased likelihood of outcomes you’re happy with.
Assertiveness, consciously applied, is a profoundly effective approach, which I have taught to countless people over the years.
It is simple, practical and very effective. I have never found a situation that it can’t readily help! It really does make a difference and can transform relationships, reduce stress and enhance confidence. With assertiveness principles and practices and the 3-step approach you can get things done whilst building positive relationships.
“Working with Eve has had a very positive impact on how I see myself both personally and professionally. With warmth and calmness, she has gently guided me towards challenging some of the self-defeating thought patterns I had developed, which were damaging my confidence, complicating relationships with colleagues and holding me back in my career.”
