In this final episode of season one of The Sensitive CEO Show, I delve into a topic that many sensitive CEOs, including myself, struggle with – setting boundaries and mastering the art of saying no in our own businesses.
As an HSP, running my business has been both a blessing and a challenge. I emphasise that boundaries are crucial for maintaining a healthy and successful business. Throughout the episode, I provide valuable tips on identifying my priorities, learning the power of saying no gracefully, and using "I" statements when declining opportunities. I share my personal journey of struggling to say no to collaborations that didn't align with my values and how setting boundaries allowed me to prioritise my energy and invest it in meaningful projects. I encourage my listeners to view boundaries as a form of self-respect and remind them that it's a continuous journey of self-awareness and growth.
