In this episode I officially close out the Super Fantastic Leadership Show and make an announcement about the new podcast I will be starting in 2024.

On today’s show we are going to talk about leading remotely. Before we dive in, let’s take a beat here and recognize that this isn’t necessarily new. There are just a LOT more people doing it, of course many who may have never had to lead in this way at the moment. While many of the same rules of leadership apply, this new context will require even more skills of being present, emotionally intelligent and likely, patience. For those leaders out there who have never had to do it, here is some great news; you get to learn some new skills and even enhance some old ones. We covered this topic back in 2017. You can listen to the show here. There are a few things that hold true no matter “where” you are leading from. Those include setting expectations, establishing clear goals, making and keeping clear agreements and also, the other skills that make leading worthwhile like being a decent human being. This past weekend on CBS Sunday Morning, they also talked about what we all need from leaders, especially in a crisis. You can check out the clip right here. It is excellent!

This week we are talking about resilience and what to avoid doing if you want to be even more resilient. That’s right, even more resilient. Human beings by in large are given much resilience but, some of the things we may be choosing to do can erode this naturally occurring strength to “bounce back” in ways that we may not recognize. First of all, watch out for complaining, blaming and criticizing others and also yourself! This is numero uno for you for sure. While it may feel slights enlivening due to the hits of adrenaline that we get when we are feeling righteous about what others should or shouldn’t be doing, be aware that this ultimately doesn’t leave us feeling empowered. Mostly this doesn’t work to build our resilience because this habit isn’t actionable. We are complaining but, we aren’t owning our own agency and power to change anything. Secondly, feeling into a future based on horrible outcomes also doesn’t build our resilience. Again, we return to being able to take action on that which we can do right now is best. Those things that are within our locus of control are incredibly helpful for us to use our strengths and best virtues as well as, most likely, to help others. When times feel uncertain and we feel out of control and unable to impact our environment, finding those places where we can take mindful action is incredibly resilient building. Thirdly, not giving attention to your naturally occurring strengths and the best virtues you are bringing to every day, also isn’t helpful. If we can see our strengths and how we are using them day-to-day this can be very helpful. What parts of your better nature has really shown up during this time? And during any time in which you’ve been challenged? We’re including some great links for you too in this week’s show: If you want to assess your own mental toughness, check out this article and the questions here. And if you’d like a good laugh, you can watch my friend Jessica and her quarantine roommate with their 5 Second Phone Calls. Join us on the Super Fantastic Leadership Show app too. We would love to see you there. You can get it right on itunes/google play if you don’t have it already. There you will find all sorts of great bonus content. This week we are simply including a picture of McWilmes sheltered at home.

This week we discuss the many ways in which our lives may change due to the pandemic and also, the caution we might want to consider as we begin to get convinced that we should go back to business as usual. Today’s show was inspired by an article that Daphne read on Medium written by Julio Vincent Gambuto. In this article he warns us to be intentional about what we bring back into our lives. However, the article also points too many fingers at the world outside of ourselves for creating our lives the way they are. Daphne wrote a response article that addresses this point and we talk about it on the show today. The truth is, we are always responsible for our lives and what we bring into them or not. For sure, this pandemic may provide us with some much needed levers but, as the title of this show suggests, it is no magic bullet for “fixing” the things we had issues with all along. Marta and Daphne also talk about the levers they are pulling to learn new things. For Marta, she is learning to draw comics. For Daphne, she is focusing a lot on cooking really delicious food. You can find the recipe to the world’s best grilled cheese sandwich that she made right here. And here are her ingredients for a great green smoothie that she loves to start her day with. Let us know what new things you’re bringing into your world and how you are using this time to get leverage in your life. That’s what it is all about!

With the arising of the pandemic and the need to isolate ourselves to protect human lives, the impact on business and unemployment has reached epic proportions. While there have been many who have had the privilege of being able to work from home, there are many who may not possess that ability and thus, are finding themselves not working at all. In today’s show we want to talk about what to do if you’re unemployed right now. We talk about not only the many ways you may need to work with your emotions and manage your experience of stress but also, the specific actions that you can take until the next wave of your employment makes an appearance. This has certainly been a challenge for millions of Americans. The great news is that not all hope is lost and there are some industries that are looking for employees right now. We are including some links right here for you too! Look for a job right now 10 Awesome Places to Work Right Now Join us this week as we discuss the possibilities!

Today we are going to be offering a lot of tips with how to work with the experiences of anxiety, depression, overwhelm and isolation. First, we want to recognize the experience we are experiencing. So often we do attempt to rush to solutions to “get rid” of our experience or to force it to change in some way. We don’t trust the process as it is happening. We’ve also been told a lot of stories about our experiences too. The stories we’ve all been told begin with some form of “should” or “shouldn’t”. We shouldn’t be sad, we should be happy and grateful, for example. In times of uncertainty we can lose our very real need for agency. Agency is the experience we have when we feel as though we can influence or change a situation in a particular way. This gives us a sense of control, safety and security. When we feel uncertain it can be difficult for us to find the ways we are still in our power and control. This is often what begins to bring up experiences of feeling fearful, overwhelmed, and all of the variations of emotional experiences. Here are some tips that we give for these different experiences. Anxiety: feels like reaching into the future: the 3 tips-meditation practice, do one thing at a time, do some 4 x 4 breathing. Depression: feels like being in cement shoes and dull: 3 tips-gratitude practices, finding laughter (one of my favorite SNL sketches), physical activity Overwhelm: feels like not knowing where to begin: the 3 tips-follow the steps in this 10′ to presence video, watch out for all or nothing thinking, take an action. Isolated: feels like being lonely and disconnected (from ourselves): the 3 tips-ask what do I need? what might others need too, ask for what you need, take action. Here is a link to the RAIN meditation that we spoke about in the show too.

Today we are talking about the simplest of things that we can do as leaders, and beyond, that don’t take too much effort at all to demonstrate acts of kindness. In a recent Harvard Business Review article, the author proposed that great leaders know that small gestures matter. What landed for me though is that any acts of kindness really aren’t small at all. Although, we often may think we need to make some grand gesture, it is the little things that matter. And it is the series of these actions that matter over time. We share some of the acts of kindness we’ve both experienced throughout this time of sheltering in place and needing to take care of our friends and family in a different way. We’ve each had old friends reach out to us and share their spaces with us. At a time when it can feel like so many things may not be going our way, it is worthy of putting our attention on what can do and how we might be kind to others. One of the most important things that shows up as a common thread in these acts however is our ability to give our full attention to other people. It is one the greatest acts of kindness that we can take. Simply giving those moments to each other is sometimes all that it takes. I share a very sweet story on the show of an exact moment I experienced. Oh, and by the way, this includes being kind to ourselves too.

Today’s show was inspired by a blog post from Mr. Money Mustache. Actually, it was inspired by a response to a post on the blog of Mr. Money Mustache by the main Mustachian himself, Pete Adeney. Now, I’ve read his blog for several years and I wish I could remember how I came upon him. I’m sure it was when I was really trying to make sense of how money mattered in my life, or rather “how much”. Take that in two ways, how much did I make it matter and how much really mattered. Mr. Money Mustache writes about that very thing. How did we want to live our lives and how did we want money and work to show up in our lives. How much of our own life energy did we want to give to the pursuit of getting more and having more? Well, leave it to him to write one of the best blog posts I’ve read so far about our current situation with CV-19, the economy and how what we’ve been doing with sheltering in place actually stands as one of the most compassionate and surprising things a seemingly capitalist society could be doing. He pointedly points out “who would have imagined.” The blog post was inspiring. What was most attention grabbing to me though was the many, many, many responses on the blog post. Of course there were the many statistical types who wanted to point to their own level of “economic savvy”. But one post in particular and Mr. Money Mustache’s response was the best part. His response to a person who did feel very much scared and uncertain was one of the best responses anyone could ask for. We hope you safe at home and that you and your loved ones are more inspired than ever!

On today’s show we are very fortunate to have with us parenting coach and psychotherapist, Michelle Gambs. She is not only a genius in working with families and parents. She is also wickedly wise and infuses fun and play into the most difficult moments in life. Today we discuss the five needs that all children have. Guess what, they aren’t personal. Michelle also gives us some strategies to front load the many ways children to get those needs met. Importantly, she also enlightens us as to what every parent needs to avoid and why quality, not quantity is what really matters. We need to avoid the “D”. Her acronym GEM explains it all. We hope that everything we talk about helps parents and families during this tricky time of working from home while everyone is also schooling from home. You can find out more about Michelle, her online course, her blog and how to connect with her directly at Michelle Gambs. I also highly recommend watching her videos on Youtube. You can also find her on Facebook and Instagram. We hope today’s show really gives you some amazing resources to navigate these times ahead with presence, love and patience.

This show is our first show since the pandemic came into our awareness and into our lives. Never before have any of experienced a moment in time like this and I’ve been saying to everyone that “this is my first pandemic”. And so it is for all of us. We are going to be doing many shows over the course of the next several weeks and until we feel that we don’t need to do so. We also hope that we provide a lot of additional support to you during this time too. With today’s show, we are going to cover few tips to help you get grounded and to establish a few practices for you that will allow you to stay present even in the midst of times that can feel challenging for you right now. We also bring in some great poems in this show because we find that the humanities right now are more needed than ever to help remind us of our better natures and also, to inspire us to who we can become throughout this process. Here is the poem by John O’Donohue that we share on the show and also the poem by David Whyte.

This week’s show we ask a question that is intended to lead us into greater awareness as it pertains to how we relate to the people in our lives and especially in leadership. We are going to explore the idea of unconscious bias, essentially. How do our bias’ lead us to miss the details of what is happening in our leadership? How can we bring greater awareness to these bias’ and what can we do to work with them? The good news in work is that we have several different ways that we can address these when it comes to hiring and interviewing, managing performance and doing our best to avoid making things “personal”. Which means, not being blinded by personality. So join us this week as we explore the question!

In this week’s show, we give a nod to the age old ideas of flexibility and freedom. Do you want both in your work and your life? And what does it mean to have these as we navigate our work and leadership? We discussed why the idea of a “flexible” work schedule may not mean what we really think it means in episode 210. It always helps to make some distinctions and to really understand what it means when we talk about flexibility or freedom and both. Join us in the conversation this week as we explore the possibilities.

We are taking this week’s episode to honor Clayton Christensen who passed away several weeks ago. Ironically, we just did a podcast on one of my all time favorite articles written just by him. Here is a quote from him that represents what he was really about in his life and leadership: “Don’t worry about the level of individual prominence you have achieved, worry about the individuals you have helped become better people.” You can read more about him in this article from the New York Times and we encourage you to do so. We also talk about death this week too and I share a meditation from my book, Waking Up A Leader. You will be glad you listened to this episode.

In this week’s show we ask a question that you may have never considered before: what brings you peace and joy at work? THis question can shift everything for us when we realize that we want the same experience at work that we want in our overall life; to feel calm, joyful and at peace no matter what shows up. We think you’ll really love the show this week. And, if you want to know even more, we recommend Sharon Salzberg’s book Real Happiness at Work. Join us in the conversation!

This week Daphne and Marta talk about all of the things they’ve quit lately. Why does it matter? Because choosing what fits and what doesn’t really matters in our lives. Just like a closet full of old shoes we may never wear anymore, if we keep them around too long, all they start to do is stink. As importantly, when we let go of one thing, we are saying yes to something else. They also discuss high firing and how we can also “quit” the way we’ve been doing a certain relationship too. Join us this week!

This week we are talking about the real root of collaboration and the importance of having many voices in the room. When we think of bringing in the entire team to evaluate decisions and make the best choices possible, we see even more that we are creating a culture of inclusion. In the old school days of getting input, this was used as a means of getting “buy in”. For sure, anyone can see right through that. Instead, maybe we should be going after something even greater and more important that just collaboration and buy-in. Listen to us this week as we talk about practicing the art of inclusion. If you haven’t checked out Daphne’s new book, Waking Up A Leader: Five Relationships of Success, you can get it right here!

f you’ve ever had your boss tell you to accomplishing something and you’ve been given zero instructions as to the why or how, guess what? You just got dumped! And, if you’ve ever been the boss who has told someone to go ahead and roll out a project with zero instructions as to the why or how, guess what? You’re the dumper! So, let’s not be the dumper. Listen in to Daphne and Marta as they discuss the fine art of delegation and how to avoid being the “dumper.” If you haven’t checked out Daphne’s new book, Waking Up A Leader: Five Relationships of Success, you can get it right here!

Ever felt like you’ve had too much to do and you never can seem to feel motivated enough to get it all done? And have you ever found yourself telling people how you wish you didn’t have to do this thing and that? Daphne and Marta know exactly how you feel. This week we are discussing what it means to be living from obligation versus commitment in our leadership and our lives. Daphne talks about how this experience also drives us to constantly feeling like we never have enough time too. Join the conversation this week. Also, if you haven’t checked out Daphne’s new book,Waking Up A Leader-The Five Relationships of Success, you can get it right here!

This week Daphne and Marta explore the world of complaining. For sure, it seems that much of our day at work can be taken up with listening to others, and ourselves, complain. If you’ve found yourself on either side of the table, here is a little something you want to know about complaints. Complaints are simply the surface of an unmet need. That’s right. When we find ourselves complaining, somehow we aren’t letting ourselves have our deeper needs met. Listen in this week as we give you a very powerful tool to use with you and your team to resolve all of those complaints.

Almost every leader I’ve ever worked with has recognized at some point in their career that they need to be better at listening. It is probably true for us all! Well this week we ask you to do a strong self-assessment of your own listening skills and also, how to improve them. You probably didn’t know that there are some real core reasons that we don’t seem to listen to others as well as we would often like too. And you likely didn’t know that you truly can train your listening skills and become better every day. It is a practice for sure! So, join us this week and see how well you listen.

Have you heard of “life hacks”? Yeah, we have too and this week we ask an important question; why are you hacking your life? Don’t get us wrong, we love efficiency and assume that some things are all about ways to be more efficient but, to what end? The one thing none of these hacks make salient is what you’re going to be ‘doing’ once you’re done rushing through your emails or laundry? We propose a better approach to the stuff of life which is to instead, be fully present to everything we are doing. Of course, if you’re spending a lot of time doing things out of obligation, there is no hack that will help you. You’ll never have enough time to do the things you don’t want to do. Join us this week to hear why we really avoid ‘hacking our life’.

In this week’s episode we are going to talk about one of the most important and critical resources that we have in our life and our leadership, our attention. One reality of our existence that is more overlooked than most is that we actually have the ability to train our attention and to also, choose where to direct it. We will discuss the ways to do that and as importantly, the impact that this can have on our lives as well as in our role at work. Making intentional choices about what we are giving our attention to could be one of the greatest skills we ever learn. Join us on the show this week!

This week’s show is based on one of my favorite articles and books by the same name; how will you measure your life by Clayton Christensen. I read the article so many years ago when it was published in Harvard Business Review and found this one question one of most profound, nagging and accelerating questions I’ve sat with ever since. It’s the perfect time of year to see what answers may come to you as you ask it yourself. Join us this week as we explore the three questions also asked on the heels of this one.

his show is our time to talk about one of my favorite aspects of ending the year, completion! I spend the last two weeks of the year giving my full effort to completing anything that’s been “hanging around” and needing to be brought full circle. For example, those pictures that have been needing to be framed, or that file that’s been overflowing for the past month. Yes, it’s the little things that matter! Now, what’s really important to know is that the more we practice living in the way, instead of just waiting for the end of the year, the better off we are. This drives us to be more mindful about the things we say yes to and also, to keep ourselves organized in a way that allows us to get things done when we said that we would. That always feels great! So, listen in this week as we talk about what it’s like to have the intentionality to live in completion!

In this week’s episode we are going to talk about making mistakes and the paralyzing moments that can ensue once we realized we’ve made one. It sounds simple enough that a mistake is simply a mistake but notice how much time and energy we spend wanting to avoid them?! One of the first things we have to recognize when we’re navigating this question is first and foremost how we define the word “mistake”. Join us this week as we explore this big question and also, the many ways we can be kind to ourselves and others in the face of mis-taking what we thought we understood all along.

This week’s show explores a question that can be a real game changer in our day-to-day lives. It has everything to do with the way we relate to thoughts and more so, the stream of thoughts that can create a full-blown story in our minds. And, if you’ve been paying attention, you can begin to see that these stories are often filled with the doom and gloom version that lead us into a great more deal of stress and anxiety than reality could ever create itself. But, what do we do? Well, listen in this week as we explore the questions and more so, how we can learn to pay particular attention in a way that can bring us greater peace, calm and joy in our leadership and our lives. And who wouldn’t want more of that?!

This week Marta and Daphne are at it again with another great question: when was the last time you failed? While this doesn’t seem like a very savory topic to discuss, the question is loaded with a lot of learning. After all, isn’t that what “failing” is all about? Can we learn if we don’t fail? And, given that, is there really such a thing as failure to begin with? If we haven’t ever failed, does that mean we really haven’t been taking risks? It seems that this question could almost leave us with even more questions and fewer answer. This week’s show will get to the heart of the matter though as it usually does and we hope you’ll learn as you hear about our own trials and tribulations and maybe, even some of our failures. Join us this week!

We explore one of Daphne’s favorite questions to ask her clients…and also to reflect on herself. When we feel like we’re just surviving, life isn’t very fun. But, how do we ensure we can keep thriving at work and at life when we’re so busy and have so many things we’re responsible for? Well, not too worry because Daphne and Marta have some answers! And more great news! Daphne’s new book, Waking Up A Leader-Five Relationships of Success is now available in for the Kindle version. You can get it right at this link: Waking Up A Leader-Five Relationships of Success. 

This week’s episode was born from the stuff of life; in particular Daphne’s life when her significant other required an unplanned surgery. Of course, that was one of those big moments when life decided all other things we would be paused to allow her to take care of a person in need. But there are those other times in life when we need to hit pause too and hopefully, we know how to do that skillfully so that we can renew ourselves and handle things in a way that can feel most friendly to us and others. In this week’s show we will talk about the art of renegotation and how to hit pause at any moment. Join us!

This week we are talking about how we make changes in our leadership and our lives. Have you noticed that most of the time we make changes from a place of finding our current reality totally unbearable? And we only focus on that which we don’t already have or what we think we need? Yes, this is an age-old pattern for most of us. But, what would happen if we came to change from first being grateful for what we already have and for who we already are? What might happen with the way we navigate the desire for change? Listen in this week and find out what’s possible and how it can make change that much easier to create.

This week we sit in another relevant question for all of you great leaders at work and in life: How do you do goals? This is a question that is all about the many ways we can relate to goals. Sometimes we have a very healthy relationship to them but more times than not, not so healthy. If you’ve felt like you were sacrificing life and limb to achieve a goal or completely avoiding setting any at all, then you may have a certain relationship to explore. Almost all successful leaders I know have had to make the decision about how they would relate to their never-ending goal list. Listen in this week as we ask this powerful question and explore our own relationship to goals too!

This week’s show begins a new era for the podcast. We are stepping into the world of questions as a new energy and way of being on the show. You’ll notice some changes but what remains the same is our commitment to making your leadership, and your life, all that it can be. This week we ask an important question about delegating: What is your team learning when you delegate to them? This is a question that can be looked at in a few different ways. Like it or not, your team is always learning something. And, there’s an even bigger question that we explore: what are you learning when you delegate? Join us as we explore the questions and give you the practical tips to wake up your leadership.

Ah, career development. Nothing could sound more dry and uninspiring. It can feel like something we “have to do” and remind us of the next series of meetings we’ll be pulled into that opens with the cheesiest of cheesy ice breakers. Well, this weeks show is going to change all of that. It turns out that developing ourselves is the key to having a long and and enjoyable career and it’s what keeps us going when the going gets tough at time with our work. Taking the time to learn and grow is also the big differentiator between us simply having a job and doing things that we love to do (aka a career or even a calling). The one thing we really explore in this week’s show is how all of that development doesn’t necessarily happen in the way that we think either. Believe it or not, taking an archery class or learning to paint can help you in ways often not considered. Listen in this week and also, develop yourself at the same time.

It’s an age-old issue that many of us can complain about all too often; we’re all really busy. While we don’t ascribe to falling into that mantra too often, there certainly can be those moments when we do actually have a lot of things to get completed, all of which can feel like they have the same impending due date. It’s in those moments that we can really start to freak out and feel overwhelmed. What do we do when we actually do have a lot of things to get done? Well this week we give you some really great tips to manage all of the crazy. There are 5 tips to be exact. Yes, one of the first of which is to manage our mindset. Stop telling yourself you’re too busy and you’ll never get it all done is a great place to start. And, there’s more. So be sure to listen in this week as we give you the goods and get you on the road to productivity that’s easy.

This week we are asking you to answer a question: How productive do you feel when you’re sleep deprived, hungover and totally exhausted? Probably not very productive at all. In this week’s show, we have a lively conversation about the many ways that we are energy machines that require the restoration of our fuel every day. Not just once a year on vacation. We also make the point that trying to only manage our time isn’t really the best use of our energy. Keeping ourselves feeling fresh and refreshed makes all the difference, especially when life brings it’s challenges that require our resilience. Join us this week for your own renewal!

This week we talk all about saying “thank you” and expressing gratitude. It’s such a simple concept yet, it is also filled with nuances. What stops us from being grateful and expressing gratitude? Could there be a time when saying thank you might not be the best idea? In this week’s show we answer all of your questions and more and give you some really great actionable tips about the ways you can make gratitude a real part of how you do your work and your life, without all of the pitfalls and magical thinking that we assume it may bring. Join us!

This week we talk about why we need to keep ourselves as present as we can even when we are working to achieve a goal sometime in the future. As it turns out, we are only ever here right now. What’s really true is that how present we are right now drives the quality of the actions we take. This has a great deal to do with how we achieve our goals or not. Another key part of this week’s conversation is really more about who we are becoming on our path to achieving our goals and not just achieving them in and of themselves. We even talk about Uncle Rico from Napolean Dynamite and his never ending quest to go back to ’82. Join us this week for another exciting episode with practical tips and tricks that will take your leadership and your life to the next level.

This week is all about getting ourselves to see how we can stop working so hard. We start off by wondering how we came up with the phrase “hard work” in the first place. Why does work need to be hard? We don’t know either. Of course, if you’re doing anything you don’t want to do it will feel hard. And this is sometimes what is at the root of the issue. We also explore how to make the shift around this pattern we can fall into with our teams and telling them how hard they are working. If you want work to be hard, just keep telling yourself and the people you work with that it is. Listen in this week and stop working so hard.

In this week’s show we are talking about the “C” word-Change. And we’re revealing the big secret about managing change. You should know going in that we don’t really manage it though. It’s happening whether we like it or not. That’s actually the first step in experiencing less difficulty with change. Change is reality. Nothing is permanent and that’s what this show is all about. How do we relate to the reality of impermanence. And, if you think you’re really all good with change, you may really want to listen in. It’s likely that you’re only good with it when you’re the one creating it. Join us this week!

In this week’s show, Daphne really gets on her soapbox with Marta as she talks about one of her least favorite questions asked to teams by their managers. As with most things, the question is well-intended and meant to be supportive. However, what usually happens in the response sounds a lot like crickets. Listen in  this week! Oh, and let us know if there are any ways that we can support you too!

This week we answer a question that everyone wonders about: does mindfulness at work actually work? Well, we first need to understand a few things. First, what do we mean by mindfulness? Are we just talking about meditation? The answer to that question is no. And then, does mindfulness work for every person and if so, what are we using it for? We dive into the nuances of mindfulness and meditation and also, what makes these approaches useful for people to manage stress and maybe enjoy themselves a little bit more. The good news is that it can work and often does for many people. That includes it even being able to work, at work. Listen in this week and let us know what you think!

If you’ve ever wondered how to really get your stress under control, this week’s show is for you. We’re back this week to support your leadership with some of the key tips and tricks to working with this thing we call “stress”. Here’s one tip we’ll give you right off the bat; not all stress is bad and what really matters isn’t the stress itself. It’s how we relate to it that really makes the difference. A great deal of how we experience life itself comes from our own inner world and that’s a great place to start. Nevertheless, we talk about our outer world too and how as leaders, we really need to learn to stop putting too much on our plate from the buffet of life. This is all about owning the ways we unconsciously create more stress for ourselves. Listen in this week and enjoy getting more peace and calm in your life! Also, if you haven’t subscribed to the DS Leadership weekly, you can do that at www.daphne-scott.com. You’ll be glad that you did!

In this week’s show, Daphne and Marta discuss the common challenges with meditation and how to overcome them. More and more people are coming to the practice of meditation and mindfulness as a way to manage stress and calm the mind that seems to chatter at us reliably. However, as many people also discover, there can be some real challenges that get in the way of doing this as a regular routine, one of the biggest being that people can feel they are too busy to meditate consistently. This is of course the most ironic part of establishing a practice. Listen in this week and learn more about how to overcome the challenges you might be encountering.

On this week’s show we talk about how to really say no. The good news is that you can do it without all of the guilt and concern of letting people down. What we like to say is that when you say no to something, you’re actually saying yes to something else.…

The post 252: How To Really Say No appeared first on Daphne Scott. Evolve Leadership.

In this week’s show we talk all about an age old complaint; I’m too busy! It is has been around since the dawn of time.
