Juliet Funt talked about how to pull us out of casualness and into action. She mentioned the 50/50 Rule in that anything that bothers you at work is your fault until you ask for a change.
We talked about how a positive leader can change the way people around them respond.
There is power in saying No.
It takes discipline and prior planning to ensure you stick to your priorities within the home or wherever you are. For example, when raising children busyness can easily dominate your lives with all of the activities they can and want to be involved in. We talked about setting boundaries within our homes to create space for family dinners, etc.
