Ep 15: Learn how to say a strategic yes!
When setting boundaries, we all recognise the importance of saying no. It can be a lifesaver for those who are constantly busy and overwhelmed. However, in this ep, we want to shift the focus from saying 'no' to the power of saying 'yes' - but not just any yes. The strategic yes.
The strategic yes is a game-changer. It propels you closer to your goals and ensures your actions are aligned with your priorities. When you respond to a request with a strategic yes, you're saying: this is important enough for my time.
Tune in for a step-by-step approach to developing your strategic savviness. Of course, no episode of Powrup would be complete without a bit of banter, giving you a sneak peek into our own journeys as entrepreneurs. So sit back, relax, and tune in for some insights. And if you like what you hear, be sure to share the love by giving us a shiny 5-star rating. Thanks for listening!
We cover:
Why it’s so hard to set boundaries
Why do we need the space for strategic yeses
What exactly is a strategic yes?
How to set goals and then develop actions that support those goals

Ep 12: Busting the myth of executive presence
Welcome to the latest episode of Powrup - a podcast by Powrsuit. Today, Nat and Kristen will dive into the fascinating yet sometimes murky world of executive presence. Did you know that studies have shown that women often receive vague and unhelpful feedback on their executive presence, while men are given specific tips on how to improve?
