If you don’t set boundaries at work, people will assume you don’t have any.

Keeping your space, time, and energy protected isn’t being difficult — it’s being smart. A clear “no,” a firm limit, or a reminder of what your role actually includes can save you from being overworked or taken advantage of.

Respect starts with how you let others treat you.
And keeping those boundaries strong is how you protect your value.

 

Be clear, Be heard, Be seen!
