[yDiv] The power of saying no (February 17, 2023 | online)
There are free slots in the following workshop organised by yDiv the graduate school of the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig.
When everything feels like an opportunity, a priority, or an obligation, how do we say no? The truth is we cannot start saying no until we get clear on why we keep saying yes to everything.
In the webinar “The power of saying no” with lecturer Desiree Dickerson on 17 February, 10:30 am – 12:00 pm, you will explore:
- why we tend to say yes (people-pleasing, scarcity and uncertainty, perceived opportunities, regret minimisation, emotion, obligation, the path of least resistance)
- the impacts of saying yes to everything: time poverty, exhaustion, loss of self and loss of joy for what we do
- why we need to start saying no
- how to start saying no (clear boundaries and priorities, with confidence and without guilt)
You can register here by 13 February. You are welcome to forward this link to interested colleagues.
The webinar takes places within the yDiv event series ‘mental well-being in academia’.
