Need help setting healthy boundaries, protecting your time, energy, and well-being? Sometimes it is ok to say no to a request rather than feeling pressured to accommodate, even if that statement is scary.

To learn tricks and tools to do just that, join the Women’s Business Council on November 3 from 11:30pm -1:00pm at Crowne Plaza Albany, The Desmond Hotel as Daquetta P. Jones-Johnson, Chief Executive Officer for Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region, offers valuable strategies to maintain healthy boundaries to remain effective, compassionate, and connected to what matters most.

💗 5 Things Every Boss Should Remember This National Boss’s Day! 💗
October 16 is National Boss’s Day, and October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. At the Capital Region WBC, we’re celebrating women who lead, inspire, and get things done. We want to remind every boss that real leadership begins with self-care.
Here are 5 things every woman boss should remember:
1️⃣ Be the boss of your health.
You manage projects, lead teams, and handle challenges every day. But when did you last put your health first? Make time for preventive care just like you would for your most important meetings.
2️⃣ Great leaders don’t put themselves last.
It’s easy to say, “I’ll make that appointment when things slow down.” But leadership is a journey. Talk with your healthcare provider about mammograms and a screening schedule that works for you.
3️⃣ Lead by example.
A workplace that values well-being starts with its leaders. Encourage your team to make time for preventive care and show that putting health first is a sign of strength.
4️⃣ Know your risks. Own your decisions.
Great bosses ask questions and make smart decisions. Use these same skills for your health. Know your family history, learn about breast cancer risks, and talk to your provider about the right screenings for you.
5️⃣ Empower other women to prioritize themselves.
Great bosses support others. Remind a colleague to schedule her mammogram, help an employee who needs time for an appointment, or share your own story. Your encouragement can make a real difference.
💗 This National Boss’s Day, we celebrate women who lead with strength, compassion, and purpose.
Tag a woman boss who inspires you and remind her to take care of herself! 💕
