How Not To Be An A$$hole
Self-awareness for people who don’t want to spend three days talking about their inner child.
A practical, funny and surprisingly deep workshop in self-awareness, emotional regulation and human behaviour. Useful ways to notice yourself, understand your impact and make better choices when it matters.

Sound familiar?
Most of us are trying to be decent humans.
And yet, under pressure, we interrupt. We get defensive. We avoid difficult conversations. We assume we’re right. We accidentally make life harder for the people around us. Becoming easier to work with starts with getting better at noticing ourselves.
What we actually do
Notice the pattern. Choose what happens next.
Through facilitated discussion, reflection and practical exercises, participants explore the small, often unconscious behaviours that shape how other people experience them.
Triggers & autopilot
Recognise what happens when you feel challenged, ignored, overwhelmed or under threat—and the habits you fall back on.
Impact & intention
Understand why “but I didn’t mean it that way” doesn’t always solve the problem.
Emotional regulation
Create enough space between a feeling and a response to make a useful choice.
Curiosity & feedback
Move from judgement and certainty towards better questions, listening and conversations.
Repair
Practise what to do when you inevitably get it wrong.
