We all hear about how we need to set better boundaries and, while that’s true, a part of boundary setting is knowing when to say yes. To quote Stephen Covey – we tend to focus on what is urgent over what is important. Join us for this 30-minute session to learn how to better focus on putting what is important front and center.

Alexia Brewster, Program Manager of Professional Programs, will get this session started with a 10-minute content overview before inviting you to share insights and challenges with other attendees in a group setting.
