the kindness that comes from telling someone, ”no”

What do you feel when someone tells you, "NO"?  Do you meet the response with resistance?  Hurt, sadness, an un-wanting feeling.  Or, do you meet it with curiosity?  Relief or even excitement towards what may follow.  Dr. Carrie Petr, the founder and CEO of Carrie Lovelace Petr Coaching and Consulting, joins us on this episode to uncover the kindness that comes from telling people "no" when they need to hear it, as opposed to avoiding those difficult conversations.  Carrie leads an executive coaching practice that specializes in healthy leadership behaviors, organizational change and development and talent management.  She is passionate about leadership development, creating healthy workplace cultures, personal and professional development, and goal setting and strategic planning.  Although her work is aligned with achieving positive outcomes for her clients, Carrie sometimes has to face difficult conversations to get the end result her client deserves.
