What I Taught Today We continue our series of brief videos about something I've recently taught or learned. Generally speaking, I've found having a bias for "Yes" is good. Instead of saying "No, we can't do this" find a way to say "But we can do this by that timeframe." A bias for Yes can be good in many situations, yet when we're crazy busy, the art of knowing how to say "No" is more important than ever. In this 2-minute video, I share a quick idea to try in the week ahead. Let Me Hear From You! What have you learned about saying No? I'd love to hear your thoughts! What have you been learning lately?
