Say what you mean without losing yourself in other people's reactions.

Come to The Nine for an intimate and practical lunch group coaching session hosted by Olga Naert. Learn how to set boundaries without guilt, understand what makes saying no difficult, and shift from fear of disappointing others into clear, confident communication.

Boundaries are often discussed as a communication skill, but in this session, we go one level deeper. Whether it’s a difficult conversation, saying no, asking for what you need, taking on too much, or feeling responsible for other people’s reactions, most of us know what we should say. What stops us is what sits underneath: the fear of disappointing someone or losing ourselves in their reaction.

As part of this coaching series, this intimate lunch session offers a space to step out of the guilt loop and move forward. With only 10 slots available, it’s designed as an experiential group coaching session rather than a traditional lecture. You won’t just learn a theory, you will bring a real-life situation, challenge, or boundary that matters to you right now and work through it in real time.

Attendance is free, but members can opt for our Member Meal Deal for €15. Please email us (events@thenine.be) directly with your order choice, after purchasing the ticket.

About the Facilitator

Olga Naert | ICF-Certified Leadership Coach · Founder of Aretéa

Olga helps ambitious women understand and shift the patterns behind how they think, feel and behave. Particularly patterns such as people-pleasing, overfunctioning, perfectionism, self-doubt and the need to prove themselves.

Her approach combines Mind Kinetics® with her own Pattern Shift™ methodology, working beyond conscious logic to explore the deeper patterns that can keep people repeating the same responses, even when they already know what they want to do differently.

Her coaching is practical, experiential and individual: rather than telling people what they should change, she helps them uncover what is getting in the way and find a new way forward.

She believes that meaningful change starts from within and that when we shift the patterns that shape how we think, feel and act, we create new possibilities for how we lead, live and relate.

Leadership starts with you.
