Reality check is helpful when making decisions of any kind- personal, professional financial - you name it. We will set to implement innovative and accessible program to surface the challenges of individual decision-making and help those often get tripped up by obligations and lack of confidence or awareness when making life and career choices.

At our first meetup we are going to address the effects of Yesomania on our lives. What's Yesomania and how does it affect you? Here are a few points:

Career. It’s hard to say "No" to your boss. However few people realize that if you are the one who always says “yes” you will be given all those tasks that others said “No” to – and for a good reason. Your raises and promotions will likely to get postponed, since there is no reason to make sure that you are happy with your job. You will say “yes” anyway. 

• Personal relationships. When you always say “yes” to others request and suggestions you are not allowing other people to really get to know you. All they know is that you are someone with no preferences, who always says “yes”. While it might feel that you are always surrounded by people, you could find yourself alone in the moment of need – since suddenly you will not be able to accommodate everybody. It often happens to those affected by Yesomania, that accommodation might be the only thing people came to them for. Once “yes” is not on the menu they will disappear.
• Money. Your finances are bound to suffer if you can not say “No” to a small loan, going out to a restaurant that is too expensive for you or buying something you do not need because you can not refuse a salesperson. Do a quick calculation – how much did it cost you over the last month?
• Health. If you can not say "No" to your boss’s request to stay for a few hours longer and skip the gym as a result, you might start piling up those pounds that are so hard to lose later on. When you are on a diet and say “yes” to a friend’s desert part, your waist line is likely to suffer.
• Stress. When you are spread too thin you are stressed. Period. You do not have the time to evaluate your priorities and that in itself leads to additional stress.
