091: How to Say "No" as an AEC Marketer

It's not uncommon for marketers to be asked to complete impossible projects on even more impossible deadlines. There isn't much an AEC marketer can't do, but there is one word that marketers can't say, "no".  Today, I am joined by Jen McGovern, the senior regional marketing manager for VHB. 

Jen is here to discuss the impact negativity can have on your career growth. A big
part of building a successful career is being able to motivate people to take
action and achieve goals. Helping people understand why 'no' may be the answer
can go a long way to making everyone feel included. Keeping a healthy work-life
balance depends on setting personal boundaries and enforcing those boundaries
with your manager - this is more crucial than you think. Listen in as Jen explains.
