Do you find it too easy to say YES to an invitation to an event, or a request to help, or someone who says they desperately need to talk with you? Maybe because you never want to let anyone down yet, you feel overwhelmed, overbooked, and downright pooped? Today, we explore the YES or NO of everyday decisions that massively impact our lives, though we don’t often notice.
The perfect gal pal to work through this is Crystel Smith, author of The Power of “No!” for Women: When to Say It, How to Say It, and What to Do When You Hear It. Crystel is a powerhouse personally and professionally. Everyone knows when she walks into a room because she is dynamic. She considers herself very blessed to have a 20+ year career of training, leading, inspiring, and propelling over 5,000 people in her role as a high-performance business coach, national speaker, and best-selling author.
