12. Say No (to That Project/Request/Volunteer Opportunity)

Saying no to something allows you to say yes to something else that matters. In this episode, we’ll walk through guidelines to help you decide whether it’s worth taking on a new project or activity: 1.     Does this use your superpowers and/or bring new learning? 2.     Will you feel this is a meaningful use of your time (i.e., does it serve/fit with who you are as a person) ? 3.     How will this affect your work and home life? Even when you’re sure you don’t want to take on that opportunity, saying no can feel uncomfortable. This episode provides tips on how to say no gracefully (and why you don’t necessarily need an explanation). Your One Bold Move: Say no to the project/request that doesn’t align with your priorities right now, so you can focus on what does.
