Training Others On What Your Boundaries Are

The Future Of Work With Jacob Morgan

Boundaries are only as good as your ability to communicate them.

It's great for you to know what your boundaries are, but if other people don't know about them, they're kind of useless.

It’s important to have boundaries and communicate them in a clear way.

When communicating, one of the most important things to have is empathy. You don’t want to sound rude by saying NO to people.

Keep in mind that you’re saying no to the request, not the person.

When your leader starts giving you a lot of work, you can say, “Can you help me prioritize my current projects so I know what I should be working on first and what I can do later?”

Another technique is to have an open and honest conversation with your leader. Let them know that you have a lot going on and are feeling stressed and that you're working on being more productive.

Letting people know what you're facing and how you're trying to come up with potential solutions can be a healthy thing to do.
