Difficult Conversations Series: Nice ways to push back at work

Capture Your Confidence

Today we are tackling work boundaries. Yep, those tricky conversations we all dread but NEED to have. We share personal anecdotes, actionable advice, and offer a fresh perspective on how boundaries, when set early and communicated effectively, can actually enhance workplace relationships rather than hinder them. You will learn practical language and strategies to artfully say no or negotiate in a way that maintains professional respect and trust. It’s not just about setting the boundary, but how you communicate that makes all the difference! Tune in to hear:

• How to articulate discomfort and set boundaries using an "I" statement to express your feelings
• Common challenges when trust is absent in collaborations
• Understanding the root of micromanagement and tips for troubleshooting
• Saying “that is not my job” when handling unassigned or unwanted tasks
• Advice for maintaining professional relationships while setting boundaries
