The Balance of Yes and No: Decision-Making Insights

Anyone that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing or meeting will know that I’m a ‘YES’ person. 

What is a ‘YES’ person? 

Most CEO’s/founders/entrepreneurs are ‘YES’ people. Curious Optimists that Build and Connect.

However I am starting to see the importance of ‘NO’ people and the balance within teams or partnerships of ‘YES’ and ‘NO’ people and their different perspectives. 

While NO people are not negative or the antagonists, they are the important pragmatists that question the YES peoples thinking or decisions.

Their very important dark Yin to your light Yang. 

Learning to captivate more Qualities of ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ people in your business and personal lives is important to making better decisions and living an interesting life. 

No matter where on the spectrum you place yourself. The key is self-awareness and to be open to saying more ‘No’s or more Yes’.

– Inspired by a chat I had with a colleague/partner whom I respect and trust and she happens to be more of a ‘No’er.😀

(Nerdy Fact: This Post has an equal number (8) of No’s to Yes’, not by design!)
