Confident At Work – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode I’m talking about the difficulty of saying no.

Many of us struggle to turn down requests, or invitations especially at work. If this is something you need to get better at start here. I share insights on why saying no is so hard, how societal expectations - especially for women, play a role, and practical strategies to start building your "no" muscle. Plus, I’m giving you a challenge this week: say no to just one thing you really don’t want to do and see what happens! And I am going to do it too!
