About this episode

In this episode, Natalie Fisher discusses how saying no at work can positively impact your career and shares a personal experience with a demanding boss.

What if saying no at work was actually the thing that saved your career — not ended it? In this episode, I'm sharing the exact conversation I had with a demanding boss after one of the hardest projects of my career, when the last thing I wanted to do was speak up. If you've ever swallowed your exhaustion and kept saying yes because you didn't know how to push back without consequences, this episode is going to give you a completely different way to think about it. Tune in to hear the question I asked that changed everything — and why it worked on someone who always had an answer for everything.
