Women raised as Good Girls have been trained to say YES – all the time!
This can impact you at work.
Many of the successful women I work with automatically say “yes” to requests – because it’s been drilled in them all their lives.
- As a result, they find themselves getting sucked into doing work to help others – which takes away from doing the work that will get them promoted.
- AND, often increases the number of hours they need to work as well.
- As people pleasers, they don’t realize it’s okay to say NO.
Sound familiar?
You have an option – the world will NOT end if YOU say NO!
