Ep #179: The Corporate Badass Way of Setting Boundaries at Work

We’ve all had those frustrating moments in our lives where we thought:

“If I could just get better at setting boundaries, everything would be so much easier!”

It would be so much easier to get back in control of our careers, to stop working 60+ hours a week, and to have the time, space, and energy to do what it’s actually going to take to build a career we love.

But here’s the truth:

You are so much better at setting boundaries than you think you are.

You literally could not make it to where you are in your career without learning how to set a boundary or two along the way.

But thinking you’re terrible at setting boundaries is just one of the ways that you’re holding yourself back from setting the kind of boundaries that will help you reach your next level of leadership.

And I know this because I think about my boundaries – and my clients’ boundaries – all the time.

So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’ll share everything I have learned about boundaries over the years and how YOU can set the kind of boundaries that will help you reach and thrive at the executive level.

Let’s dive in.

Want to receive the recognition you deserve, step into a higher leadership position, get paid for your ideas instead of the hours you put in at work, and enjoy more time, freedom, energy, and joy? Then you need to get your hands on a copy of Promotions Made Easy. Get your copy here.

  • My personal strategy for setting boundaries that don’t rely on your willpower
