General Assembly Workshop | Boundaries for WOC in Technology

Friday, February 4th

11 am PT / 2 pm ET

Learning how to embrace the word "no" is learning how to courageously and confidently set boundaries with others. In return, you’ll gain back the time, energy, respect, and wellness you might be missing in your career and life.

This workshop is designed by and for Women of Color in technology who are ready to learn the art of healthy personal and professional boundaries to transform their careers and create mutually safe and beneficial relationships.

Setting boundaries and expectations, prioritizing our needs and wellness, is a distinct leadership skill that no one ever taught us. It is another form of negotiating and self-advocacy that is critical to advance in your career without compromising your values and who you are at the core.

And if you don’t know what boundaries you should be setting at work or how, it’s time to learn some fundamentals. It’s never too early or too late!

Let’s do this together.

Here's what you're going to learn:

  • How to identify the 5 types of boundaries you should be setting at work

  • Gain insights into exactly why it’s hard for WOC to set boundaries

  • A simple checklist to determine if you need to set a boundary

  • Ways to start embracing the "NO!"
