Welcome to the final part of What They Don’t Tell You About Becoming a CFO. In this episode, I explore why being able to say no is a critical skill for any CFO and leader. Here's what you'll learn:

Why saying yes too often can damage your focus and leadership credibility
How overcommitting can hurt your personal brand and mental health
The importance of setting boundaries to protect your team

In this final part of the series, I’ll show you how mastering the art of saying no can elevate your leadership, empower your team, and help you make smarter, more strategic decisions. Let's dive in!
