About this FieldTrip
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.

âď¸ 5 Practical ways to say “No”

âď¸And how to respond when others say “No”

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginnerâs hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Â
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings communityâjust like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgroundsâa lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
Weâre all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try âYes! AndâŚâ in conversation.
Not vibing?
Itâs 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
