ESSENTIALISM: THE DISCIPLINED PURSUIT OF LESS

What if the thing quietly destroying your productivity is not laziness or poor time management, but your own success?

When was the last time you said yes to something at work and immediately felt a small but unmistakable sense of dread?

What would happen to your reputation at work if you started saying no more often than you say yes?

For our Watch & Talk sessions, this video sparks discussion around focus and prioritisation, the language of professional boundaries, saying no diplomatically in English, and workplace identity and performance culture.

This lesson is for professionals who suspect they are spreading themselves too thin but have never quite found the words to do something about it.
