Better Ways to Say Yes — And No

Webinar Description

Give your teams the tools to protect time, energy, and trust—without losing momentum. Saying “yes” doesn’t always mean progress—and saying “no” doesn’t have to mean conflict. In a culture of collaboration and constant availability, employees are praised for responsiveness but rarely trained in how to set boundaries with clarity and care. This session helps teams communicate intentionally—so they can prioritize what matters most while maintaining trust and connection. Led by facilitators in communication and leadership development, this interactive webinar teaches simple, practical language for balancing commitment and capacity. Participants learn when and how to say yes, no, or not yet in ways that move work forward while honoring focus, values, and well-being.
