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.
āØWHAT TO EXPECT

āļø The definition and impact of shame on our sense of self & the power of a scarcity mindset
āļø Why saying “NO” is important and the impact it can have on your life design
āļø How to tolerate the distress and unlearn the beliefs we have about our value being tethered to others’ appraisal

āļø 5 Practical ways to say “No”
āļøConsiderations for business and client work
āļøAnd how to respond when others say “No”
