While saying “no” is frequently emphasised in discussions about boundaries, in this week’s episode I talk about the often overlooked art of saying “yes”, and explore a more nuanced approach to both.
The strategic importance of saying “yes” and “no”Why clarifying questions are key for making aligned decisionsWhat to do before committing to a “yes”How to say a “yes” that supports youWhat you can do to say “no” effectivelyWays to navigate difficult conversations with ease
Drawing insights from works like ‘The Coaching Habit’ by Michael Stanier and ‘Essentialism’ by Greg McKeown, I share a strategy that fosters alignment with personal values and goals.
Mastering the art of saying “yes” and “no” is essential for personal and professional growth. By aligning your decisions with your values and goals, you can navigate life's complexities with confidence and clarity.

Many people (including myself) have a sensitive relationship with feedback, but feedback isn't just about criticism; it's about uncovering blind spots and fostering improvement. I run workshops on this a lot for companies and it’s always a key part of my coaching programmes, so today I wanted to shed light on why feedback is pivotal for growth and success, yet often triggers deep-seated insecurities.
Throughout the episode, I'll provide you with a clear roadmap for giving feedback, share actionable tips for receiving it openly, and mindset prompts that will help you to transform your relationship with it. This will all help you to shift your perspective on feedback; from being a source of anxiety, to a catalyst for personal and professional development.
In this episode you will learn:
What feedback is and the role it plays in growth and successWhy giving and receiving feedback can be so challengingThe simple framework to give feedback clearly and effectivelyHow to receive feedback openly and constructivelyHow your mindset shapes feedback interactionsMindset prompts to improve the feedback experienceInsight into the importance of developing feedback skills for career success-
