This is controversial but you need to start saying NO!
**YOU CANNOT SAY A BIG YES UNTIL YOU MASTER THE POWER OF NO.**
My whole career has been built around YES.
I trained in improv. I founded Jittery Citizens. I became Mrs Personality. I’ve worked with brands, performed, created, reinvented myself and said YES to opportunities that terrified me.
But here’s the thing nobody tells you about YES:
Sometimes your biggest YES starts with a NO.
NO to playing small.
NO to people-pleasing.
NO to letting other people’s opinions define you.
NO to hiding your personality.
NO to crossing your own boundaries to keep everyone else comfortable.
NO to that voice asking, “Who do you think you are?”
Because when you stop saying NO to yourself, you make space for a much bigger YES.
YES to being seen.
YES to your ambition.
YES to your weirdness.
YES to adventure.
YES to the thing you’ve been too scared to do.
And that’s exactly why I’m applying to be **Virgin’s Head of Yes**.
Because I don’t think Head of Yes should just be about telling people to say YES.
It should be about helping people find the courage to say **YES to themselves.**
I’ve mastered saying YES.
But I’ve also mastered saying NO.
And that might be the most important lesson I could bring to Virgin.
