It isn\u2019t uncommon for us to discover\u2026<\/p>\n

During a coaching conversation with a client\u2026<\/p>\n

That she has difficulty in setting – and communicating<\/strong> – her boundaries to other people.<\/p>\n

The client might say she \u2018feels overworked<\/em>\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n

Is \u2018taken advantage of\u2019<\/em> by others\u2026<\/p>\n

And \u2018frustrated by her seeming inability to change the pattern\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Having Clear Boundaries is Essential to Building Your Personal Brand<\/h2>\n

The truth is\u2026<\/p>\n

If you want to build your Executive Profile within your company (and industry)\u2026<\/p>\n

If you want to be respected as a leader\u2026<\/p>\n

And if you want to be high-performing (whilst also protecting your sanity)\u2026<\/p>\n

You need clear boundaries in place…<\/p>\n

That your team, clients and leadership are also aware<\/strong> of.<\/p>\n

Because if you don\u2019t\u2026<\/p>\n

You are actually contributing<\/strong> to the negative patterns that you find yourself in.<\/p>\n

(Sorry to bring bad news, but it\u2019s true).\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Listen to me talk about this topic on my podcast, Her Ambitious Career. Here it is \u2018Are Your Boundaries Weak? How to Start Setting Boundaries That Stick\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First, Identify Your Weak Boundaries<\/h2>\n

To get this Boundaries conversation started\u2026<\/p>\n

(And because I\u2019m all about taking charge of yourself and your career)\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to share 9 warning signs<\/strong> with you\u2026<\/p>\n

To help you realise if your boundaries are currently unclear, weak or (let\u2019s face it) non-existent. 😉<\/p>\n

Self-awareness should always be our first step!<\/p>\n

As you review this list, have a think if any of these scenarios resonates with you right now:<\/p>\n

1\/\u00a0You are feeling emotionally\u00a0drained<\/strong><\/p>\n

2\/\u00a0You are feeling\u00a0overwhelmed<\/strong><\/p>\n

3\/ You\u2019re being pulled\u00a0too thin<\/strong>, or in multiple directions<\/p>\n

4\/ You\u2019re being\u00a0overloaded<\/strong>\u00a0with more tasks<\/p>\n

5\/ You are feeling\u00a0frustrated or angry<\/strong><\/p>\n

6\/ You have difficulty\u00a0prioritising<\/strong>\u00a0tasks<\/p>\n

7\/ You’re struggling to\u00a0delegate<\/strong><\/p>\n

8\/ People keep\u00a0taking advantage<\/strong>\u00a0of you<\/p>\n

9\/\u00a0You feel as if you\u00a0aren\u2019t doing\u00a0anything\u00a0particularly well<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let’s Do A Personal Boundary Audit<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First…<\/p>\n

Note down which of the areas above where your boundaries are currently unclear, weak or non-existent…<\/p>\n

And hopefully it isn\u2019t too depressing an exercise! 😉<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re finding this hard\u2026<\/p>\n

You can look at this another way, by asking yourself this question:<\/p>\n

Where, in your life or at work, do you need to create stronger and clearer <\/strong>boundaries?<\/p>\n
