If you fall into people-pleasing behaviors but can’t manage your relationships effectively, you won’t reach your full potential. In this course, therapist and author Kathleen Smith shares practical wisdom to help individuals understand and break free from people-pleasing tendencies. She discusses how relationships, family influences, and systemic dynamics inform our behavior both inside and outside the workplace. Kathleen also delves into how family systems theory provides a helpful framework for understanding these behaviors and offers strategies to overcome them. Kathleen starts with universal principles such as recognizing people-pleasing behaviors and understanding their roots. She also reveals techniques for breaking out of these patterns, cultivating a sense of self, and building healthier relationships. Finally, she shows how to apply these insights to maximize your potential and enhance your work and personal life.
