334 How to Set Boundaries That Actually Stick at Work and Home with Kendall Berg
You know the boundaries you've set a hundred times before? The ones that work great for about three days until someone asks you to take on one more thing, stay late one more time, or handle one more crisis? We've all been there. Setting boundaries is the easy part. It's the keeping them that feels impossible when someone is standing in front of you asking for more.
In this episode, I'm sitting down with Kendall Berg, a career coach who learned about boundaries the hard way. After being told she was great at her job but terrible to work with, she made a complete turnaround that led to five promotions in six years. The secret? It wasn't working harder or longer hours. It was finally building boundaries that could withstand real-world pressure. Kendall shares why working 80-hour weeks never got her ahead, how having a baby forced her to rethink everything, and the exact framework she uses to maintain boundaries even when priorities shift and people push back.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
- Why setting boundaries is easy but keeping them is hard
- The three types of boundaries you need (time, communication, priorities)
- How to use PMRs (Proactive Mitigation Responses) when boundaries get pushed
- Why you can only focus on three priorities maximum
- How to create your Ideal Week to protect your time
