Скачать или смотреть The Hidden Cost of Boundaries: When Saying No Holds You Back

Dawn continues the series on saying “No” by revisiting boundaries and emphasizing that while boundary-setting is important, it comes with a price. She notes that turning down opportunities—like leading a big project—can mean people don’t ask again, and someone else benefits and advances instead. She also warns that in workplace contexts, saying no to the wrong person can trigger backlash such as anger, threats to your career, gossip, or sabotage, which can pressure you to keep saying yes. Finally, she explains that boundaries can become a self-built fence that overprotects you and cuts you off from career progress and personal development. Her message is to be intentional and aware of what you’re saying yes or no to, especially when fear is driving the response.
