How to Say No With Grace, Not Guilt

My new client Mary described herself as “super-busy.” She told me, “I’m not sure what I want to work on. My life is pretty good and I’m overall pretty happy.”

I asked her to take my 3-minute Life Satisfaction Assessment and we’d go over it in our next session. When we talked next she said she was stunned: she didn’t realize that her satisfaction was so out of whack in some very important areas of her life.

Her life was full…but not fulfilling.

Mary was suffering from the results of saying yes to so many people and things, that she didn’t have the capacity to say yes to things that would create a truly fulfilling life.

Can you relate?

If you worry about how to say no so that you maintain relationships and credibility, take the assessment yourself and take one step closer to the life you deserve. Click to get your Life Satisfaction Assessment and Instructions.

Here’s to your brilliance.

Do You Suffer from Delusions of Smallness?

Delusional Clients

I’m fortunate to partner with clients who inspire me with their courage, vision, and wit. Sadly, many of them don’t readily see what I see in them: they fail to notice the positive impact they have on others and may suffer from doubt, guilt, and loneliness.

And it’s not just top execs who suffer from this delusion.

Do You Suffer from Delusions of Smallness?

Here are some indicators:

  • You fail to give yourself the same care and consideration as you give others (or your dog).
  • You worry that all you’ve achieved is undeserved or ephemeral.
  • You treat your body as a machine that runs on coffee and doesn’t require ample rest and rejuvenation.
  • You say yes to all demands even if it means sacrificing sleep, sanity, and relationships.
  • You apologize often for things outside your control, as in “I’m so sorry I didn’t respond to your 2:00 a.m. email” or “I’m so sorry it’s raining.”
  • You compare yourself to others or to some ideal vision of who you think you should be.

Reality Check
No matter who you are or what you do for a living, if you ignore your body’s needs for rest, nutrition, and exercise, it will break down someday…almost certainly at a very inconvenient time and place. (Note, it’s possible, but highly unlikely, that you’ll get lucky and earn a standing ovation from 3,000 people after passing out stage as my buddy Steve Roesler did).

Change How You Are, Not Who You Are

Change for Good

As an Executive Coach, my job is to help people change for good. Not everyone is ready for such a project.  Some people just want everyone around them to change instead. And others worry that if they change their behaviors, they’ll come off as inauthentic—a fake. Truth is, if you’re unable to adapt your approach to people and situations, your relationships will suffer and your career will hit a wall.

Authenticity Misunderstood

Authenticity is about being real…not rigid.  That is, it’s not about stubbornly holding on to valued personality traits—or even beliefs—that aren’t working. The most successful leaders adapt to people and situations gracefully and appropriately. [Read more...]
