EP82: The 'Yes' Trap with Jennifer Burnham

This week, I interview organizational coach, Jennifer Burnham. Today, she will be speaking to the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ behind saying ‘yes’! As a culture we’ve become so accustomed to ‘busy’. 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’s 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.

We discuss:

• How do you know discern what should be a top priority if all the options sound ‘good’?
• How do we narrow our focus/calendar?
• How do 'people pleasers' establish confidence while saying 'no'?
• When does it become selfish to balance ‘my needs’ vs. ‘other’s needs’?
• Would you say that our current ‘pace’ is just a matter of using our time poorly? Or is it really a lack of assessment with ‘where our train is going?’
