Get the Hughie moment mug.A NO Moment is a term coined by the Thank You For Saying NO podcast. A NO Moment is a life changing moment that turned someone's life upside down (i.e., a moment someone was told NO, said NO, or when a situation didn't work out). The twist is that the NO Moment was actually the start of something really great because of what it led someone to or what it taught them.
I am so grateful for the NO Moment of not getting the job I really wanted because it led me to a different job where I won an Emmy.
