Want to go deeper?

Setting a healthy boundary is only the beginning — the real work is the conversation that delivers it, defends it, and keeps the relationship intact on the other side. Mastering Critical Conversations gives you the framework and the practice to engage difficult discussions with confidence, whether you’re holding a boundary, addressing underperformance, or working through conflict with a colleague or manager. Using a five-step model — Outcome, Intention, Facts, Perspective, Solution — you’ll learn to prepare for a high-stakes conversation, manage your own emotional response, distinguish productive conflict from destructive conflict, and guide the exchange toward an outcome that holds.

About this webinar

Every day, we navigate boundaries — at work and at home. Some we set for ourselves, others get imposed on us, and many we never think about until we realize they’re being crossed. But whether they’re explicit or unspoken, our boundaries shape how we work, how we feel, and how we show up in our relationships. When they’re unclear or absent, the cost adds up: blurred work-life lines, eroding energy, resentment that quietly builds, and a creeping sense that we’re no longer in the driver’s seat.

In this session, Christa Kirby walks through a practical, four-step framework for setting healthier boundaries — the kind that protect your time, your energy, and your relationships without burning bridges. You’ll come away with language and tools you can put to work the next day.

What you’ll learn

Types of boundaries — the different kinds of limits we navigate at work and beyond, and why naming them matters.

Creating boundaries at work — what work boundaries actually look like, and where most professionals struggle to set them.

What makes boundary setting so hard? — the perceived barriers (guilt, fear, role expectations) that keep us silent when we shouldn’t be.

A four-step framework — a practical process for identifying, framing, and communicating a healthy boundary.

Time and workload boundaries — how to protect your calendar and capacity without losing trust or visibility.

Emotional and communication boundaries — how to manage tone, access, and emotional load in your working relationships.
