I get it. You are used to being a “yes, girl”. You make things happen. You get things done. And you make other people happy in the process. Even if it means shifting your personal boundaries. Even if a yes to them means a no to you. Even if you are already exhausted and almost to capacity.

Today we are going to talk about why just because you can take on a project, task, or ask, doesn’t mean you should. Not only that, we are going to talk about some key questions to ask yourself to know when the answer should definitely be a heck yes!

According to Harvard Business Review, women are asked to volunteer for invisible tasks at work 44% more often than men. Our guest today, Kelli Thompson, was always asked to organize time-sucking parties or fundraisers, for which she never received recognition.

Invisible tasks benefit the organization but likely don’t contribute to someone’s performance evaluation and career advancement, hence making the work invisible for pay and promotions. 

Kelli is a keynote speaker, writer, and award-winning leadership coach who helps women advance with clarity and confidence so they can make an impact in the rooms where decisions are made. She is featured in Forbes, MarketWatch, HuffPost, Parents, and elsewhere. 

In today’s episode, we discuss…

• The invisible workload at the office like parties, supplies, and other tasks
• Extra tasks that don’t contribute to 
• The rise of the Employee Resource Group and how it often falls to women and women of color
• The load of volunteer requests vs. strategic initiatives
• Being a doer vs. being strategic
• Asking yourself, “What am I saying yes to and what am I busy with at work?”
• Looking at your values, skills, talents, and energy when you think about taking on a new task at work
• Reasons we say yes when we really want to say no
• How to elegantly say no without feeling like you are not a team player or don’t support the organization
• Setting boundaries for what you can and cannot do
• How does people-pleasing get in your way when it comes to an invisible workload
• The belief that a request deserves an immediate response instead of giving yourself time to think
• Asking yourself, “Where do I feel resentful?”
• Using a calendar audit to determine if something is an energy sucker, energy staller, or energy surger
• How you can switch your mindset from doing to leading
