    Boundaries That Stick: Saying "No" Without Burning Bridges

    with Russ Powell

    When: Friday, November 14th

    Time: 12pm

    Where: Zoom



    Boundaries That Stick—A Framework for Saying “No” Without Burning Bridges

    Bookkeepers often find themselves in the middle of competing demands—clients asking for "just one more thing," business partners needing extra help, or colleagues leaning on them to fix problems outside their scope. Setting boundaries and saying "no" can feel risky, but saying "yes" often leads to burnout, errors, and strained relationships.

    This interactive virtual session builds upon the frameworks Russ taught at the October workshop, introducing a simple, useful framework for having difficult conversations where boundaries matter most. Instead of dodging conflict or defaulting to people-pleasing, you'll learn how to slow down, get clear on what's really at stake, and respond with confidence. You'll learn ways to frame "no" as a constructive step forward-protecting both your time and your relationships.

    You'll walk away with:

    • A dependable process for clarifying what you will and won't take on
    • A useful model for preparing for a difficult conversation
    • Ideas for ways to turn difficult "no's" into moments of respect and trust
     Come prepared to reflect on a recent situation where you struggled to set a boundary
