Content & Organization:
When everything feels like an opportunity, a priority, or an obligation, how do we say no? The truth is we cannot start saying no until we get clear on why we keep saying yes to everything.

In this webinar, we will explore:

• why we tend to say yes (people-pleasing, scarcity and uncertainty, perceived opportunities, regret minimisation, emotion, obligation, the path of least resistance).
• the impacts of saying yes to everything: time poverty, exhaustion, loss of self and loss of joy for what we do.
• why we need to start saying no.
• how to start saying no (clear boundaries and priorities, with confidence and without guilt).

After the 45-minute presentation there are 15 minutes for discussion and Q&A.
