      <image:title>Articles - I Can Buy Myself Flowers: Freeing Ourselves of Codependency - Have you seen this post?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Recently I saw this on Facebook. I agree. There is a big difference from today’s young women hearing the message in the song “Flowers” versus the young women of the 90’s who listened to the Dixie Chicks (now known as The Chicks) sing rebelliously about Earl.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - I Can Buy Myself Flowers: Freeing Ourselves of Codependency - I am imagining…</image:title>
      <image:caption>a man who is raised by a mother who loves herself enough that she can buy her own flowers. A mother who provides her son with a father who also has high self-worth and loves himself enough that he matches his self-empowered wife. A father who role models how lovingly treat his partner and meet his need for love and connection.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - I Can Buy Myself Flowers: Freeing Ourselves of Codependency - I am imagining…</image:title>
      <image:caption>the woman who was raised by a mother who loves herself enough to buy her own flowers. I am imagining a mother who role models compassion for an “Earl” to her daughter but knows her job is not to fix him or rescue him. A mother who knows when she loves herself fully, she will only have space for a partner who can meet her there. An “Earl” would never feel comfortable being in the presence of a woman so self-empowered.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - I Can Buy Myself Flowers: Freeing Ourselves of Codependency</image:title>
      <image:caption>At the end of the classes I teach, I ask my students to join me in a ‘breathing and movement’ meditation. Then in stillness they repeat after me, “I am” sentences like, “I am kind, I am smart, I am healthy, I am considerate of other people’s needs...” The sentences vary from day to day, but the last one they repeat is always the same: “I am enough.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Yes, Jerry McGuire, it is time we let go of your famous culturally dysfunctional line. It is a perfect example of codependency, and has been idolized by women for years… “You complete me.” Really Jerry? Give it up. Only you can do that. While you work on completing you, I will work on completing me. Then maybe we’ll talk.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The founder of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Marshall Rosenberg, believed that everything we do is in service of our needs. Regardless if we are aware of it or not, our behaviours, both pleasant and unpleasant, are occurring in order to get our needs met.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Read the Directions? Who Does That?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Shayna agreed and boiled the eggs for us while Grace and I set up the egg decorating station with the various items I brought along including the $2 egg decorating kit. Shayna asked if we needed anything else and I assured her no, this was it. We’re good. After all, I have been egg decorating with my kids for 20 years. I got this!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Read the Directions? Who Does That? - I must admit…</image:title>
      <image:caption>there is a small part of me that doesn’t find this story easy to confess. That same part of me that quickly started saying things like, “Really? You have been painting eggs with your kids for 20 years and it never occurred to you to figure out why they ended up so pale in colour? Aren’t you a teacher? Wow, that’s pathetic.” Then my mind started searching for excuses and people to blame to free me of this embarrassing moment. This cannot be my fault!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Read the Directions? Who Does That? - So what wisdom surfaced from this egg decorating activity?</image:title>

      <image:title>Articles - Read the Directions? Who Does That? - “Knowing it all” robs our children, and others, of many wonderful moments of connection, deeper understanding and self-confidence.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I love how often my young students teach me something. When they do, I often reply with words like, “Thank you for sharing that with me, I am so glad you came to school today!” It is a moment of wonderful connection when we celebrate in the sharing of our collective wisdom.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Read the Directions? Who Does That? - Then it happened.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I started to laugh. I suddenly witnessed myself in a way I had never experienced before. It was almost like an out-of-body experience. I could see myself standing in the yard, defending my own insanity.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Read the Directions? Who Does That? - Embrace it!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Use any moments of discomfort as a loving sign, like a flashing arrow pointing inwards saying “look here” or imagine a red neon sign flashing “investigate!” Instead of blaming others or blaming yourself, take a deep breath and get curious. What does this painful feeling mean for you? What is it trying to tell you?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Workshop Description: Discover why traditional methods of discipline, like "Behavior Modification," are failing in today's classrooms and homes. This workshop explores the deeply ingrained “domination culture” paradigms that our education systems were built on—and why the strategies that worked for past generations are no longer effective. Learn how these outdated approaches may be escalating the very challenges you’re striving to resolve. Through this interactive session, you’ll: Uncover the critical mindset shifts and practices necessary to cultivate empathetic, responsible, self-directed, and collaborative learners. Gain practical tools and insights to address your specific challenges in real-time. Leave inspired and equipped to create transformative change in education—turning frustration into connection and collaboration. Empower yourself to be part of the movement toward an education system that works with students, rather than against them, fostering a thriving future for all.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Clarity Calls</image:title>
      <image:caption>Need a clarity call? What’s that? Often when we are upset or something is bothering us, we don’t need to make an hour appointment. We often just need a quick phone call to help us in the moment with specific strategies when we are experiencing something challenging. Clarity calls quickly help calm allowing you to gain more peace and clarity in order to navigate the challenge in the most effective and compassionate way for you. How does it work? Text to let me know you are wanting a clarity call. In order to use the session most efficiently, you are welcome to send a voice memo explaining the situation that is triggering you. I will respond with the first available time slot (within the same day or I will respond with strategies within a voice mail). $240 for 8 clarity calls or $50 for a stand alone call. Contact now for a free 20-minute session to experience the positive impact this will have on your life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Jill &amp; Team - About Jill McPherson, B.A.Sc.(Child Psychology), B.Ed., Counsellor</image:title>
      <image:caption>I spent nearly three decades teaching students across Canada, from a one-room schoolhouse on the Alberta prairies to busy elementary classrooms in different districts. I started with a degree in Child Psychology, a deep love for children, and a belief that I could make a difference. But over time, I saw how the system’s focus on control and compliance didn’t match the connection I wanted to build. The classroom management strategies I’d been taught sometimes worked, but they often left both me and my students feeling drained. I didn’t become a teacher to manage behaviour or play the bad cop. I became a teacher to help people grow. The turning point came when I stopped asking, “Why is this happening to me?” and started asking, “Why is this happening for me?” That question changed everything. That shift led me beyond the classroom — hosting wellness events, creating my TV show Awakening Within, and earning a Diploma in Spiritual Direction. When I discovered the framework of Nonviolent Communication, I finally understood why old strategies felt wrong: they were built on control, not connection. And here’s what I know now — when authority is rooted in control, people shrink. When leadership is rooted in trust, people grow. Today, my classroom looks different. I work with leaders, teams, educators, and entrepreneurs to replace conflict with connection, fear with trust, and compliance with genuine collaboration. I help people create environments where others feel heard, valued, and empowered to bring their best. If you’re ready to lead in a way that helps people grow, I’d love to help you get there.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Corporate &amp; Workplace - Collaborative Communication Level 1: “Why Are We Struggling?”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Naming the Problem Many workplace challenges aren’t caused by policies, personalities, or performance—they’re caused by communication habits we’ve inherited without realizing it. This introductory training helps teams identify the root causes of misunderstanding, tension, and disconnection so they can finally shift them. Participants learn to: -Listen for understanding rather than reacting or defending -Identify and interrupt disconnecting listening habits -Reframe emotional responses as signals, not problems -Agreements replace rules -Understanding boundaries vs controlling others Outcome: Teams leave with shared language, increased empathy, and practical tools that immediately improve daily interactions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Corporate &amp; Workplace - Collaborative Communication Level 2: Developing “Power-With” Communication Skills</image:title>
      <image:caption>Building Capacity  Once people understand what’s driving workplace conflict, the next step is learning communication strategies that support psychological safety and mutual respect—especially under stress. Participants learn to: Decode what someone is truly saying beneath their words Use language that increases the likelihood of being heard Navigate emotional triggers at work with compassion and clarity Create and communicate boundaries that protect everyone’s well-being Move from compliance-based culture to collaborative culture Outcome: Individuals, leaders, and teams begin responding—not reacting—leading to stronger trust, retention, and accountability.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Integration, Systems Change &amp; Long-Term Sustainability Transformation becomes real when new skills reshape workplace structure, culture, and expectations. This level supports organizations in embedding collaborative communication into policies, systems, and everyday practice. Participants learn to: Examine repeating challenges through a systemic—not personal—lens Continue practicing and applying Level 1 &amp; 2 skills with coaching and feedback Create clear, shared workplace agreements that reduce conflict Build collaborative feedback systems that strengthen respect and transparency Design structures that sustain connection, equity, and trust long-term Outcome: A healthier work culture—co-designed, co-maintained, and supported by everyone.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Corporate &amp; Workplace - Convergent Facilitation: Leading Groups Without Carrying It All or Being the “Bad Guy”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Leading people through plans and decisions can feel exhausting. Many leaders end up taking on all the responsibility, managing resistance, or absorbing frustration simply because they are “the one in charge.” Often, this isn’t about poor leadership—it’s about the communication habits we’ve inherited from traditional models like chairing meetings or using parliamentary procedure, which can unintentionally silence voices or turn the leader into the target. Convergent Facilitation teaches collaborative, peaceful ways to guide groups through tasks and decisions so people feel safe to contribute, willing to participate, and more invested in what gets created. Instead of defending decisions or pushing for agreement, leaders learn how to facilitate conversations that invite shared thinking, shared ownership, and shared follow-through. In this training, participants learn how to: Lead group discussions without controlling or carrying the load alone Create safety so people openly share ideas and concerns Facilitate collaboration without being blamed or resented Support groups to co-create plans and decisions they will actually implement This workshop is ideal for leaders, supervisors, and team leads who want to move work forward while maintaining trust, respect, and connection.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Corporate &amp; Workplace - Hear Me Out: Women Leading Beyond Power, Control, and Hierarchy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Do you ever feel the tension between staying true to who you are and becoming who the system expects you to be as a leader? What if the problem isn’t how you lead — but the system you’re trying to lead within? Hear Me Out is a powerful, human-centred experience focused on what it truly means to feel heard in leadership, work, and life. Rooted in deep listening, presence, and trust-building communication, this session offers a modern approach to leadership that strengthens connection, clarity, and collaboration. Grounded in the principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Hear Me Out supports women in leading with authenticity and impact — without changing who they are to be taken seriously. It replaces performance-based leadership with relational leadership that builds influence through presence, honesty, and real connection. Participants Will -Practical tools for deep listening and meaningful presence -Communication strategies that build trust, clarity, and connection -Greater confidence in expressing needs and boundaries -A grounded understanding of what it means to truly feel heard -A more human, relational approach to leadership Please Note: this can also be delivered as a Keynote.

      <image:title>Corporate &amp; Workplace - Keynote “Under the Same Sun: A Story of Connection, Courage &amp; the Power of How We Communicate</image:title>
      <image:caption>Recently, I had the honour of teaching communication to adults at a career-training school in Kenya—an experience that deeply transformed me. These learners, many of whom have faced profound adversity, were not just learning how to speak and listen. They were reclaiming their voice. Through empathy-based practices and honest dialogue, they began to: Listen with care Express themselves with clarity Collaborate in ways that build trust and shared purpose And I walked away changed. Their courage and insight reminded me of this truth: meaningful leadership begins within. Under the Same Sun is a keynote born from that experience—a message for teams, organizations, and communities seeking to deepen communication, build connection, and lead with heart in times of change. Perfect for audiences looking to: ✨ Reignite purpose and resilience ✨ Strengthen collaboration and trust ✨ Explore the human side of leadership Blending storytelling with actionable insight, Under the Same Sun invites listeners into a conversation about what it means to show up—with empathy, with integrity, and with one another.

      <image:title>Workshops - Letting Go, Connecting More</image:title>
      <image:caption>For parents with children of all ages Parenting can feel like a constant balancing act between guiding children and controlling behaviour. This workshop supports parents in moving away from a “power over” system that relies on rules, judgments, policing, and punishments — toward a “power with” approach that fosters empathy, collaboration, and shared responsibility. Grounded in Nonviolent Communication (NVC), parents will learn how to: Cultivate self-awareness and reflection to understand their own triggers and patterns. Recognize the needs behind their child’s behaviour instead of responding with control or judgment. Foster mutual accountability and shared understanding within the family. Guide children toward empathy, contribution, and cooperation, rather than compliance. Build a family culture where each person’s needs are valued, acknowledged, and met. By shifting from “holding on” to “letting go,” parents create a nurturing environment of connection, respect, and learning, where behaviour is guided by collaboration and understanding — not fear or punishment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Workshops - Managing Little Ones With Big Emotions</image:title>
      <image:caption>*This workshop can be customized for any age group. Are you struggling with morning routines? bedtime? schoolwork? chores? being disrespectful or just not listening? When children experience strong feelings, it can feel overwhelming — for them and for us. This workshop invites parents and caregivers to see emotional moments not as misbehaviour to manage, but as opportunities for connection, understanding, and growth. Grounded in the principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), participants will learn how to stay calm and compassionate when emotions run high, listen beneath the behaviour to the need being expressed, and respond in ways that build trust rather than tension. In this workshop, you’ll learn to: Recognize what your child’s emotions are really trying to communicate. Stay grounded and self-connected when your child’s feelings escalate. Respond with empathy and clear boundaries, rather than control or withdrawal. Transform power struggles into moments of understanding and cooperation. When we meet big emotions with presence instead of punishment, children learn that all feelings are safe — and so do we. Read more about Jill McPherson→</image:caption>

      <image:title>Workshops - Connecting with Your Teen: Empathy, Understanding, and Mutual Respect</image:title>
      <image:caption>For parents with children ages 11-18 Are you feeling a disconnect with your tween or teen? Do you miss the relationship you had with them when they were little? Do you struggle to know what to say or how to effectively respond to their behaviours? Teenagers often act in ways that feel frustrating or confusing to parents. This workshop helps parents move beyond reaction and judgment, offering tools to empathize with your teen, understand the needs behind their behaviour, and respond in ways that build connection. Grounded in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) principles, participants will learn how to: Listen deeply so both parent and teen feel heard and seen. Recognize the unmet needs driving challenging behaviour. Communicate boundaries and expectations with clarity and care. Foster mutual respect, trust, and cooperation rather than power struggles. When parents meet their teen with empathy and understanding, connection replaces conflict — and both parent and teen feel valued, understood, and supported.

      <image:title>Home - I’d Love to Join You as a Podcast Guest</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m all about joining conversations that spark meaningful change. If your podcast is for humans who care about connection, compassion, and creating a better world—I’m all in. As the former host of Awakened Parenting, I know the power of honest, heart-centred dialogue, and I love bringing that energy to shows that aim to inspire, empower, and make a difference. As a mother of four, wife, former teacher, communication coach, and an entrepreneur running a farm-based business, I bring a grounded, real-world perspective to the work of connection and leadership. With over 25 years of experience in education, facilitation, and emotional intelligence, I’ve navigated classrooms, boardrooms, and barn doors—and I know that meaningful change starts with human connection. I speak the language of both strategy and soul, unpacking how to turn conflict into connection, lead with empathy, or summon the everyday courage to live and lead authentically. I love leaving listeners feeling inspired, grounded, and activated to create meaningful change in their lives, their work, and their communities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Education - From Power Over to Power With: Transforming School Culture</image:title>
      <image:caption>Workshop Description: Traditional discipline methods, like “behaviour modification,” are failing in today’s classrooms. This workshop explores the deeply ingrained hierarchal beliefs that our education systems were built on—and why the strategies that worked for past generations are no longer effective. You’ll discover how outdated approaches may actually escalate the very challenges you’re trying to resolve. Through the lens of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), this interactive session shows how to shift from control and compliance, to empathy, collaboration, and shared responsibility. In this workshop, you will: Uncover the mindset shifts and practices needed to foster responsible, self-directed, and collaborative learners. Learn practical, NVC-based tools to respond effectively to challenges in real-time. Explore strategies to transform frustration into connection and collaboration, creating a classroom culture where both educators and students thrive. Leave inspired and equipped to create a “power with” school environment, where communication, mutual respect, and shared understanding form the foundation for learning and growth.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Education - How to Fall In Love with Your Job Again: Reconnecting with the Joy of Teaching</image:title>
      <image:caption>Teaching can feel exhausting when old habits, learned strategies, and ingrained beliefs keep you in a cycle of putting out fires rather than connecting with students. This workshop invites teachers to step back and explore the internal beliefs and patterns learned in teacher training and personal experience that may be contributing to daily stress and disconnection. Through guided reflection and practical strategies grounded in Nonviolent Communication (NVC), participants will learn how to shift from control-based approaches to collaborative, empathetic practices. By aligning with beliefs that support connection rather than compliance, you’ll rediscover the joy of teaching and the deep, meaningful relationships that make the work worthwhile. In this workshop, you will: Identify how your beliefs and past experiences shape your teaching approach and daily interactions. Learn strategies to shift from reactive, control-based responses to collaborative, empathetic engagement. Discover ways to connect with students that reignite your passion for teaching. Leave inspired with practical tools to create a classroom environment that energizes both you and your students. Reconnect with your purpose, transform classroom challenges into opportunities for connection, and fall in love with teaching all over again.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Education - Turning Conflict into Connection: Teaching Students to Resolve Disagreements with Empathy</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s time to stop punishing students for the conflicts that arise when they lack the communication and collaboration skills we never taught them — the same skills many of us weren’t taught as children. This workshop invites educators to reframe conflict as an opportunity for learning, understanding, and connection. Grounded in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and practical facilitation techniques, participants will learn how to teach students to navigate disagreements with empathy, clarity, and respect. By giving students the language and strategies to express their needs, listen deeply, and collaborate toward solutions, conflict becomes a tool for growth rather than a reason for punishment. In this workshop, you will: Learn how to guide students to identify and express their needs during conflict. Teach strategies to listen empathically, respond constructively, and find mutual understanding. Explore ways to replace punitive approaches with skill-building practices that empower students. Equip students to turn disagreements into opportunities for connection, problem-solving, and personal growth. Leave with the tools to create a school culture where conflict fosters empathy, understanding, and collaboration, rather than fear and punishment.</image:caption>
