Boundary Issues In Love and Work
 Boundary Intelligence is a basic human capacity that exists
in everyone. This innovative presentation explains how cultivating this
ability improves relationships by resolving the paradox of two essential
emotional needs - the desire for intimacy and the desire for personal
autonomy and independence. Boundary issues are inevitable in every relationship;
learning how to negotiate them without sacrificing the self on the altar
of togetherness is the focus of Jane Adams’ most recent work,
and in this program she offers techniques and tools that enable audiences
to regulate their personal and professional relationships to get more
of what they want and less of what they don’t in all their dealings
with other people – families, partners, friends and colleagues.
