Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney
Let's face it, life is uncomfortable. Whether it's interacting with other humans (or trying to), going after our goals and improving our lives, or understanding other people's perspectives, preferences and proclivities, being able to face the discomforts in life with courage, compassion, confidence and resilience will make life a lot more enjoyable! So join me as we DANCE IN THE DISCOMFORT ZONE! We'll explore new ideas, learn how to build our confidence, courage and resilience, and laugh a little too, because life is serious enough. We need a little cha cha, and a little ha ha every once in a while! Welcome to the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney!

Episode 146: Saying "no" to Protect Your Time and The Relationship
Nobody likes saying "no" to a request, offer or whatever, but how many times have you huffed and slumped in resentment, wishing you'd had the guts to say no! You don't need guts, you need skills. (ok, you need a few guts, but the skills will help with that part!) In this quick episode I give you my formula for saying "no" in a way that will help you both protect your valuable time (and sanity) and still be seen as a caring leader who is there to support everyone's success. (including your own!)
