Saying “No” and Asking for Help
Honoring Your Inner Voice

Session #1: 
Wednesday, November 29
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

Session #2: 
Thursday, November 30
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

How often do you say “yes” to a request while thinking, “but I don’t really want to do it”? Or maybe you take things on entirely by yourself because you feel bad asking for help? You’re not alone. We’re hardwired to want to please others and also not be seen as a burden. However, when we don’t honor our inner voice, it erodes away the integrity we have with ourselves.

Learning Objectives

1. How to honor your inner voice in these moments
2. Strategies to say “No” that fit your personality
3. A deeper dive into identifying beliefs that are driving behavior and how to reframe them

This program is ideal for:  anyone
