power_of_no

As a High Achiever you know how to get things done. Your plate is always full, your “To Do” list feels never ending and you are constantly wishing there were more hours in the day. You are the “go to” person in every area of your life . . . the one everyone comes to for help, problem solving and sage advice. And it’s all great – after all, you like being busy and you love helping people . . . . it feels good to be needed. Right?

RIGHT!! . . . until it all becomes too much. Until you hit your tipping point and you feel like you can’t possibly take on one more task, solve one more problem or respond to one more request. You have your own stuff to take care of and yet you feel like your schedule is constantly hijacked by other people’s crises.

So . . . you try to set some boundaries and take back some of your time; but every time you open your mouth to say “no”, “yes” pops out instead. OR you say “no” but feel guilty because this person/situation really needs your help, so before you even realize it, your “no” turns into a “yes”. You keep sucking it up and putting on your big people’s undies so everyone else can get what they need.

Meanwhile, you are falling further behind on your own tasks and feeling more resentful every day. You find yourself avoiding certain people and spending large amounts of time in non- productive tasks (surfing the internet, checking in on social media, responding to email, watching TV) and wishing everyone would just Leave! You! Alone!

Sound familiar?

I get it. Seriously, I really get it. My name is Melanie Yost and I am a high achiever. I am also a Performance Coach and Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent the last 25 years teaching with other high achievers how to say “no”, let go of guilt and embrace the concept of “less is more” so they can be more productive while having more freedom and creating more balance in their life.

Would you like to learn how to be more productive AND have more freedom and balance in your life?

Here is what past workshop participants have to say . . .

If “NO” is a challenging word for you, then I highly encourage you to consider the seminar. As a busy mom of two, a teacher, personal trainer and a wife, I struggle with overloading an already full plate. Melanie’s seminar helped to identify the different ways people coexist with one another. As a high achiever, I am always willing to help others find resolution to their problems. What the seminar taught me, is that I need to focus and reconcile my own concerns without feeling guilty when saying “NO”. The words that we use and our reactions to situations need to be those of Peace. Whether you are considering this seminar for personal or professional reasons, I highly recommend it because it addresses all facets of life. Great Job Melanie!!! I am looking forward to your next seminar!!

I came into this seminar a little skeptical. I questioned what I could learn beyond what I had been telling myself for years: just say no sometimes. But what I learned was so much more valuable. I learned the reasons why we give and give until we feel we are lowest on the priority list. And why we then continue to give. And I learned invaluable tools to stop myself from this vicious cycle. This seminar was very personal to me and I feel like I came away from it with a greater understanding of, not only myself, but also the people in my circle. I have already put to work some of the strategies learned and am seeing results. Thank you so much Melanie!

If you don’t know me, you don’t just have to take my word that I know what I’m talking about. Here are just a few of the nice things people have said about me.

“Melanie provides something that is hard for most entrepreneurs to find – an unbiased outside perspective. She helps me unlock and execute the ideas that I’ve been unable to act on.”

“Melanie has such a good sense of humour, and was able to give me a kick up the arse with great gentleness. She has a lot of wisdom and experience to give, and does that with compassion. I learned a great deal not only about running my business but also about myself and I have greater skills for life.”

“While working with Melanie my focus, confidence and business have grown which has resulted in more clients and speaking opportunities. Having Melanie as my coach has been invaluable and has equipped me to take my business to a much higher level. I am so grateful for her intuition, compassion and expertise!”

“Melanie encouraged me to pry myself off the carousel horse and stop going around in circles. Now I can really see how unhealthy and stagnant my life had become–no wonder I was so miserable underneath the facade! Thanks to Melanie, I am moving ahead with new dreams and a peaceful, positive attitude. I used to wake up with a feeling of dread; now I wake up truly happy to greet the day.”
