Why is saying no so hard? And why does it matter for your career? In this episode of A Word With Yourself, we explore the power of setting boundaries at work, why saying no is a leadership skill that separates decision-makers from doers, and how to do it without damaging relationships.

We’ll also talk about workplace culture, people-pleasing, and—because life is about balance—our obsession with Diet Coke.
