IPA Training Forum: The perils of saying yes and how to say no

Why saying 'no' helps you at work and in life

This virtual session, run by Nick Jemetta, will focus on why we too often say yes and the need to allow ourselves to say no.

The session is focused on encouraging individuals and line managers to think and act differently and covers:

  • The consequences of saying 'yes' too often: Hear Nick's personal story of burning out after struggling to say 'no'.
  • The reasons we struggle to say 'no': Why it's a shared experience that many of us struggle with.
  • Why saying 'no' helps you at work and in life: The health, mindset, energy and productivity benefits of getting confident saying 'no'.
  • How to say 'no': The principles and practices that compound over time - ideas for individuals and essential skills for line managers.
  • Optional free resources: Free workbook and AI prompts to continue building the muscles for 'no' long after the session (available by request).
