WomenofWordPressNYC: How Saying “No” Benefits Oneself and Others

For most of us saying “No” isn’t fun but it’s a necessary part of life. Though we’re often taught to say yes -- yes to more opportunities, yes to more responsibility, yes to more tasks -- we need to learn that sometimes saying “no” instead benefits oneself and others.

Join me as I share some of my life experience in saying no to taking on more in a way that can really say yes to giving opportunity to others and yes to a better career for ourselves.

ABOUT SPEAKER: Cami Kaos lives, works, and parents in the rainy city of Portland, Oregon. She’s had a love of WordPress and WordCamps since the last century, when she happened to stumble upon the first WordCamp Portland. Since 2013, she has worked at Automattic, as a community organizer for the WordPress open source project. In that role, she gets to work with WordCamps and their organizers from around the world, every day. She continues to write on an irregular basis at camikaos.com where she explores concepts from the plight of modern parents to mental health to marveling at the seemingly mundane. Cami is active on a number of social platforms but can be most readily found as @camikaos (she/her) on Twitter.

ZOOM LINK: We will email out the zoom link to all registered attendees.

HOSTS: Meryl Randman, Lisa Leid and Winstina Hughes
