Molly's May Tidbits: Saying no

Hi! I’m Molly. I write about what it actually takes to lead inside growing, changing companies: the frameworks that help, the honest truth about what it feels like, and the messy work of shaping a career that actually fits.

Lessons is where those ideas live — both the writing and the conversations around it. (If you want to learn more about how Lessons and the community work, you can read more here.)

I’m trying a new format to share, once a month, some things I’m reading and listening to, people I admire and you should know about, and things that have made me stop and think this month.

“Goals are not enough. Winners and losers have the same goals.” - James Clear

On a personal note: I just got back from rafting the Rogue River which is a delightful way to spend 5 days. If you are looking for a family or friend trip, I highly recommend it. I promise there are other blog posts coming soon — it’s been a busy month!

What I’ve been thinking about in May

Saying no thoughtfully is an art form that I have not fully mastered.
