Are You Saying ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ to the Wrong Opportunities in Your Career?

Ep #259:  Are You Saying ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ to the Wrong Opportunities in Your Career?Are you accidentally stalling your career by saying ‘yes’ and ‘no’ to the wrong things? So many of the women I speak with are quick to say ‘yes’ to things that don’t actually move the needle in their careers: Yes to putting out fires, to attending unnecessary meetings, to waiting patiently for that elusive promotion. And on the flip side, those very same women are almost reflexively saying ‘no’ to the very things that could transform their careers. No to exploring a new role because it might not be the “perfect” fit. No to that recruiter’s outreach because the timing doesn’t feel ideal. No to speaking engagements because you’re “not ready.” Here’s the truth: every yes and no you give shapes your career. And sometimes, your default responses might be holding you back. On this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’ll show you how to flip the script so you can confidently say ‘no’ to the things that don’t truly matter at work—and ‘yes’ to the career opportunities that will move the needle for your growth.Unlock the missing piece in your leadership development.
