Let’s talk about what makes saying “NO” so challenging, the impact not saying “No” has had on your life, and how to actually start doing it in meaningful and supportive ways. This session will be a mixture of didactics, individual reflection and group sharing. Throughout the session, each attendee will work through an example scenario they are currently facing to develop their “No” response plan including how to reframe their mindset, deal with the stress of saying “No” (including how others may respond) and deliver the “No”. Opportunity to share and ask questions will be given throughout the presentation.
