Recognising that many struggle with the concept of saying no due to a desire to please others, Jeannette emphasises the importance of prioritising one's time and energy. She shares practical tips highlighting the need for clarity on personal values and purpose, building self-confidence, and refining communication skills

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Recognising that saying no is essential for managing your time and energy effectively. It allows you to focus on what truly matters and prevents overcommitment.
• Being clear about your personal and professional priorities, as well as your purpose and reason why, helps you assess opportunities and distractions more effectively.
• Developing self-confidence is crucial for saying no. It’s important to shift your mindset to understand that declining an opportunity does not reflect poorly on you.
• Refining your communication skills and practicing how to say no can make the process easier. This includes taking a moment to pause before responding to requests.
