Holiday Conversations: 
Staying Calm Around Opinionated People

Why This Workshop Matters Now

It’s no surprise that everyone feels a little more on edge lately. Politics, social issues, even basic conversations seem to turn heated faster than ever.
 

With everything going on, holiday gatherings can feel like a minefield of opinions, judgments, and “just trying to help” comments. When tensions rise, it’s easy to slip into defensiveness, and afterward, most people regret how reactive they felt.
 

Since you know the opinions are coming, give yourself the tools before you walk into another round of holiday conversations.

Come learn how to stay **composed instead of defensive**, so you can choose the response that protects your peace of mind.
 

Here’s What You’ll Walk Away With
 

• Confidence in the moment: Learn simple tools to help you know when to speak up and when to let something slide so you stop replaying conversations afterward.

• Constructive Responses that work: Get practical language for redirecting comments and holding boundaries without sounding defensive or harsh.

• Emotional steadiness: Use regulation tools to stay calm under pressure, even if someone pushes your buttons.

• A lighter holiday season: Feel more in control of your reactions and less affected by other people’s moods, opinions, unsolicited advice or emotional outbursts.
