Embracing No by Paula Quinsee is a self-help guide filled with insights and tools to empower you to say ‘no’ and be ok with it - often a key challenge for many women entrepreneurs, particularly in the early days of building their businesses. It helps to raise your level of self-awareness and empower you to make better choices in your life and in business.
Paula Quinsee’s newly published self-help guide, Embracing No, is a quick and easy read for anyone, but don’t underestimate the depth of its content and the valuable nuggets it contains. We are conditioned to think that saying ‘no’ is a bad or negative thing, so we often try to justify our no with all sorts of reasons or excuses. It’s ok to say no. When we say ‘no’ to other people and other things, we are saying yes to ourselves instead of putting ourselves and our own needs last.
Some of the topics covered in this book include:
Relationships – saying no to unhealthy relationships
Self – saying no to self-sabotage and self-destruction
Families – say no to unhealthy family dynamics
Friendships – say no to negative or toxic influences
Workplace – say no to a negative practices in the workplace
Parenting and children – say no to inhibitive parenting styles
Saying No – without having to justify why.
