Event Details
Nearly everyone has difficulty saying "no" at some time, and some find it hard much of the time. The result is unwanted stress, missed deadlines, and unhappy relationships. On the other hand, a firm, well-reasoned refusal can greatly reduce these problems and lead to much better results. In this session, we will look at ways to say "no" and still meet our most important commitments. We'll see how we contribute to our own overscheduling and discuss techniques for gaining control.
Join UCWBG on Aug. 3rd to understand why we say "yes" when we mean "no" and how to get the message right. The objectives are as follows:
- Identify when to say "no."
- Understand why we always say "yes."
- Develop decision criteria for saying "no."
- Describe how to reframe requests.
- Create responses that lead to "no"
- Say "no" without being negative.
- Say "no" in written communications.
