Becoming Grief Confident

(60 min sessions offered):

​

From pretending to expressing ​

​

If you are alive, you have probably experienced loss and grief.  Grief is messy, uncomfortable, and deeply personal. Many of us have been taught to push it down and hide it. It makes people uncomfortable. Avoiding it doesn’t make it disappear.

 

Instead of pretending we’re okay, let’s step into our own unique expression. Becoming authentic as grieving humans. Let’s get grief confident.

​

In this talk, I’ll share some of my personal experience which has lead a unique way to express grief when you don't have the language to use words ... until you do.  Here is where I will share a unique way to find your unique grief language.​ Together, we’ll explore how to create language for grief using something you might not expect. 

​​​

This conversation will be real, heartfelt, and yes—it’s about to get really feely in here. But that’s where healing starts in our  feelings, (feelings are data) then we get curious to gain clarity which brings you to finding your unique expression.

​

Specifically for employers

​

Most people want to help when someone they care about is grieving. Most have no idea how to sit with, let alone work with someone who has experienced a devastating loss. Words often spill out that would wound instead of comfort. These words can leave a grieving person feeling unseen, unsupported and alone. 

How do you create an environment where your grieving employee feels supported enough to be productive. 

​

This is where I come in. 

​

When grief shows up at work. You the employer still expect your team members to perform as if nothing has changed after a few days off to mourn, bury their loved one and get back to "normal".

Trust me it's not realistic. 

​

Truth is everything for them has changed and nothing feels normal. Grieving people are exhausted, have brain fog and a list of other things that can contribute to lack of performance.

​

I teach leaders how to move past awkward cliches and into compassionate communication, so grieving employees feel supported, understood and able to re-engage with their work. 

​

Because when people feel cared for, they're not only more humanly supported, they're also more capable of returning to meaningful, productive contributions. 

​

Together we explore how to:

Move beyond cliches into meaningful connection. 

Listen in ways that honour both grief and love. 

Build a culture of presence where no one feels they have to hid their pain. 

​

When people feel heard, they feel supported. And when workplaces know how to respond with compassion, it strengthens every relationship within them.  

​

Let's work together to create spaces where grief is not silenced, but understood.
