We hear our kids start using the word “NO” around the age of two. It’s an act of control, testing limits and they know it’s going to get a reaction out of you. Strangely it’s also a word that we, as women, have a hard time using. It carries with it the fear of disappointment and of missing out. It can create social anxiety. It’s only two letters but it carries power and control. In today’s podcast I am going to share with you 3 reasons you are having a hard time saying NO and how to make it easier.

Topics in this episode:

• Why centuries of women being submissive still has a cultural effect on our ability to say NO.
• Saying NO does not make you a bad employee, less of a team player or a bad manager
• The 3 most common drivers behind saying YES too much
• What does being a “good manager” really mean, if it’s not being 100% available
• How to self-coach yourself to make saying NO, easier
