When and How to Say No
Too many people feel stretched thin, constantly busy but still unable to do the things that truly matter to them. Traditional time management isn’t always enough. The real key is learning to say yes to the right things—and confidently say no to the rest. This course is designed to help you stop overcommitting and start taking control of your time and energy.
If you struggle to say “no” because you fear being seen as negative, letting people down, or missing out, this course will give you the tools to overcome those fears. You’ll learn practical strategies for setting healthy boundaries, communicating with clarity, and protecting your priorities without guilt. Say no with confidence—and say yes to a life you actually want.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
