EP82: The 'Yes' Trap with Jennifer Burnham

Published: June 18, 2019, 10 a.m.

This week, I interview organizational coach, Jennifer Burnham. Today, she will be speaking to the \u2018what\u2019 and the \u2018why\u2019 behind saying \u2018yes\u2019! As a culture we\u2019ve become so accustomed to \u2018busy\u2019. We believe that the more we say yes, the more we will become. Better mothers. Better wives. Better friends. Better volunteers. Everything will be better. It\u2019s impossible to keep up the charade. Very few of us (if anyone) can balance all of the invitations to busy that come our way. Busy ends up leaving us feeling bankrupt of ourselves.\nWe discuss:\n\nHow do you know discern what should be a top priority if all the options sound \u2018good\u2019?\n\nHow do we narrow our focus/calendar?\xa0\n\nHow do 'people pleasers' establish confidence while saying 'no'?\n\nWhen does it become selfish to balance \u2018my needs\u2019 vs. \u2018other\u2019s needs\u2019?\n\nWould you say that our current \u2018pace\u2019 is just a matter of using our time poorly? Or is it really a lack of assessment with \u2018where our train is going?\u2019\n\nFind all the resources mentioned in this show:\nShow Notes for EP82: The 'Yes' Trap with Jennifer Burnham\nLet\u2019s keep the conversation going on our\xa0Facebook\xa0page or\xa0Instagram!\nAdvertising Inquiries: sales@adalystmedia.com
