Picture this: You're invited to a last-minute dinner meeting, but you've already committed to family time. 🏡👨👩👧👦🍽️
You're torn. You feel the pressure to attend the meeting, but you also value your family time.
Dr. Demetria McNeal offers a solution that respects both your professional commitments and personal boundaries.
Instead of cancelling on your family, she suggests communicating your situation honestly.
Tell them, "I would love to join you and the team for dinner, but I have a family calendar with my partner and our children. If you have another dinner meeting, please let me know one or two weeks out and I may be able to attend."
This approach not only maintains your commitment to your family, but also sets a precedent for future interactions, ensuring that your personal time is respected.
Remember, it's not just about setting boundaries, it's about communicating them effectively.
