Script to protect your time against unnecessary meetings
Hi [name of the person]
Thanks for inviting / including me.
I have recently enrolled in a brilliant coaching journey and I am prioritising tasks which will take me closer to the goals identified in the coaching sessions.
[insert name of sponsor or relevant leader] is keen for me to prioritise this so I will not be able to commit to (meeting/request).
Thanks for understanding
