How to say no. A superb article: "In a world that often values compliance over authenticity....we find ourselves entangled in a web of obligations, constantly saying yes to requests that may not align with our true desires or priorities. Yet, buried beneath the layers of societal expectations & internalised guilt lies the power to reclaim our autonomy".
This article explains:
- the reasons why we always say yes
- why we should learn to say no
- how to recognise when not to say yes
- tips for learning how to say no
- different (positive) ways of saying no
- how to deal with unwelcome responses

"#FallsPrevention is often associated with risk-averse attitude whereby people are discouraged from mobilising so they do not fall, consequently becoming deconditioned, increasing fall risk"

Chatting with a colleague, my mind went back to my MSc research on staff engagement & patient safety.

Chris Turner nails it:

'For competent teams, the single most important factor determining the outcome of the team is how they treat each other' 👌
