As the year draws to a close, our calendars – and our patience – start to overflow. Between end-of-year deadlines and family gatherings, the pressure to say “yes” to everything can leave you drained and resentful. That’s where The Art of Saying “No” comes in.
Join us this December for a practical, light-hearted session that helps you set boundaries with confidence – whether you’re turning down an extra project from your boss in your final week of work or deflecting your rude uncle’s holiday “advice.” You’ll explore why saying no feels so hard, how to communicate it gracefully, and how to protect your energy without guilt.
We’ll also draw inspiration from Impact Factory’s co-founding director Jo Ellen Grzyb, author of Family Heaven, Family Hell: How To Survive the Family Get-together, whose insights into family dynamics are especially relevant as the holidays approach.
Give yourself the gift of boundaries this season – and start the new year with more balance, clarity, and calm.
What We’ll Cover:
- The psychology behind “no” – why we struggle to say it and how to reframe it as a positive, self-respecting choice.
- Practical language tools – from gentle deflection to assertive clarity, learn how to say no without burning bridges.
- Real-life scenarios – navigating tricky work and family situations with confidence and calm.
