### Why This Matters

Most of us were never taught how to say no. Not to clients. Not to bosses. Not to teammates. We say yes to protect relationships, to seem “easy to work with,” to avoid being labeled difficult. But every yes that goes against your values, your time, or your standards? That’s a step toward burnout.

Being **world-class** isn’t about pleasing everyone. It’s about knowing what you stand for, and having the guts to protect it.
Saying no is a skill. Saying it without starting a war? That’s power.

### What We’re Talking About

* What’s the cost of always saying yes?
Burnout, resentment, garbage work. Let’s break the cycle.
* How do you push back without burning bridges?
Boundaries ≠ arrogance. Let’s talk tact, timing, and tone.
* What does a “strategic no” sound like?
Scripts, real talk, and the art of making no sound like a favor.
* Are you building trust, or just staying silent?
Learn how real influence starts with clarity, not compliance.

### Who Should Show Up?

1. Designers tired of overdelivering and undercharging.
2. Founders learning that trust ≠ total availability.
3. Creatives who want to protect their time *and* their reputation.

This isn’t about being difficult. It’s about being respected.
Let’s talk boundaries, value, and real-world influence
