&lt;p data-start="397" data-end="589"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;As leaders grow in their careers, the demands on their time, energy, and attention continue to expand. Learning when—and how—to say no can be one of the most powerful skills a leader develops.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="591" data-end="967"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In this Empower Networking panel, leaders will explore how setting clear boundaries can strengthen focus, protect personal well-being, and allow leaders to prioritize the work that matters most. Panelists will share personal experiences and practical strategies for navigating competing priorities, communicating boundaries effectively, and staying aligned with their purpose.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description>
