There may have been times you've been asked to work over or change your day off, been given last minute requests to make changes to a piece of work or you just generally don't want to do what's been asked of you. As women we have many demands/situations where our time and attention is demanded, often leaving very little time for own sanity and precious me time.
As I’m writing this I’m realizing that there are numerous areas where you may want to say no but just haven’t felt confident to do so, such as your Boss, Colleagues, Partner/Husband, Children and whilst there maybe similarities in some of the skills needed to say the ‘No” there is no one size fits all, cookie cutter method. So in this episode I’m to going to start with how to say no to your Boss and will follow up with the other scenarios in the future.

Recently a friend sent me a BBC headline Alexandra Burke: ”UK has 'massive problem' with confident women” with the question posed - Do you think female stars are forced to play down their own success to seem "likeable"?
This week I discuss the concept of what I believe to be the myth of overconfidence - I see it more of a double bind scenario where we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. We should be able to own our acheivements and not play small to make others feel comfortable with our acheivements.
I only cover a small area in this week's podcast but you can read more on my site at Real Talk With Janice or just click the link!
