Thursday 12 Feb 2026, 09:30 → 12:30 Europe/London

Abingdon (C7)

This session, informally titled "How to say no at work in a useful way" will present a variety of tools and techniques to help you to manage your workload, prioritise tasks and manage your relationships with superiors, all while maintaining your wellbeing. The key to it all is learning how to say no in a way that helps deliver long-term strategic aims, rather than as a block to progress.
