In 2020, The WIMDI Speaker Series is inviting engaging speakers each month to give interactive talks on topics that help women kill it at work.
Welcome to Talk 2 of 13 - The Overcommitted Person's Guide to Saying No
Most of us have found ourselves overwhelmed, overcommitted, under-resourced, and drowning in a sea of work we honestly wish we had turned down. So how did we end up in this particular paradise? Easy: We say yes when we should say no.
Saying no effectively is one of the most important building blocks of an exciting, successful, and fulfilling career. It lets us set limits on the work that we (or our team!) take on, it creates space for high-profile projects, it strengthens our negotiations, and it allows us to design the careers we want instead of just defaulting into what others see for us. So there's no time like the present to get good at this foundational skill!
This talk will focus on the under-used art of saying no. We'll cover:
- The seductive rewards of saying "yes"
- What is it about "no" that feels so terrifying?
- How to figure out when your yes should really be a no
- Tools and techniques that will help you say no successfully
The goal of this talk is to teach you how to set limits and say no at work so you can do high-value work, protect your time, and have more control over your life
