Here's something I think we probably all would agree is true: Nonprofit leaders are great at saying yes. We say yes to opportunities. We say yes to those who need our help. It's kind of in our DNA.

I know many Nonprofit leaders who see their readiness to say yes as a virtue. But what if some of the things we're saying yes to are not really serving us? What if they're actually getting in the way of us making our greatest impact?

The truth is, what you say yes to affects your effectiveness and impact in the world. In this week’s episode we get into how that works and why we need to pay attention.

In this episode, we share:

• How busyness interferes with our ability to discern what we should be saying yes to
• The first question to ask yourself before deciding whether to say yes or no
• How the unconscious ‘no’ will undermine your impact
• How one Nonprofit CEO uncovered and reversed an unconscious “no” that was creating serious problems, and the empowering lessons she learned in the process
• An effective 3-part mnemonic you can use to evaluate how to respond to a demand on your time
• How to uncover the hidden blocks that keep you from delegating as much as you probably should
• Three powerful questions to ask yourself to help you dismantle those blocks
