Thank you for signing up for the 'Say No' guide! 🙌
​
This is a guide to support you in making intentional decisions, prioritising your most important work tasks (hello writing!) and start saying NO. Many women in academia know that they need to set better boundaries, but struggle to find ways of doing it without feeling guilty, afraid of damaging relationships or like they are missing out.
If this is you, I invite you to watch the 60-minute "Say No" masterclass.

The 'Say No' Masterclass
When and how to 'say no' at work - without feeling guilty
Hey female academics! Want more time to work on your research? Or to live your life? I will teach you exactly when and how to ‘say no’ to the tasks that eat up your time at work - without feeling guilty.​​​​​​
​
​
I know. You say yes too often because you are concerned. Concerned that if you 'say no' you are likely to upset someone. Or put an extra burden on your colleague. Or fail the community. Or miss out on an opportunity. But it will be okay. You can 'say no' and still maintain your good relationships and achieve your goals - without burning out.
A few of the topics we’ll cover…
​
-
Research insights on why women often find it hard to ‘say no’ (you are not alone!)
-
The biggest difference between ‘yes tasks’ and ‘no tasks’
-
The reasons why ‘saying no’ is key to solving work/work or work/life imbalance
-
Self-coaching questions to shift your mindset.
-
The four steps to start 'saying no' more often.

Who Am I?
I'm an associate professor in organization and management studies and an academic coach who has guided many women in academia to clarify their academic profiles, replacing self-doubt and setbacks with excitement, purpose, and productivity. My coaching approach is enriched by the principles of Women-Centered Coaching developed by Dr. Claire Zammit.
​
What am I all about?
I focus less on traditional masculine approaches such as goal setting and pushing through, and more on nurturing female values like community, connection, process, and creativity. I believe that to enact change in our lives, we must work with intention, shift our mindsets, and enhance our practices. From my own experience – having navigated through near-burnout twice as a post-tenure academic – I am passionate about helping others craft the academic careers they've dreamed of. I've successfully secured over 1 million euros in research funding, served as head of a section, been involved in professorial recruitment, published consistently, and still found joy and time with my family, friends, and hobbies outside academia, such as yoga, nature walks, arts and crafts, writing poetry, and yes, indulging in the guilty pleasure of Netflix!
