Do you say too many "yeses"? If so, you aren't alone. It happens to the best of us, whether because we are helpers by nature, seek recognition, or pride ourselves on doing ALL the things.

Tune into Becca's conversation with former Career Clarity Program member and successful entrepreneur Dave Kartunen to make a plan for what to say yes to and how to say no.

Dave Kartunen is a national-award winning journalist who focused his entire career on better governance. During his 15-year broadcast news career, he reported local and national breaking news as well as political and investigative reporting in Boston, Miami, and Savannah, Ga. He is the winner of the 2016 National Edward R. Murrow Award for continuing coverage of deadly conditions in a Georgia Jail. He also won the 2013 Southeast Regional Emmy Award for continuing coverage, using a series of simple stories to explain the disastrous rollout of the Affordable Care Act.

Dave also taught journalism at Boston University and remains a fierce advocate for trauma-informed journalism.

Since leaving the news, he's consulted organizations large and small, public, private, and nonprofit. In 2023, he turned his focus once again back to better governance and founded kartoonEDU, which creates visual communications to help public schools share complex information with their stakeholders in more engaging ways. In two years, he's worked with more than 60 public school districts and associations in the U.S. and Canada. This year, his company is expanding to offer their products and services to municipalities as well.
