Why is it that you feel guilty when you can’t say “No” to your boss or your mother when they place unreasonable demands on you – and even when you do say “No” the feeling of guilt is still there?
Do you find yourself doing things you don’t like with people you can’t stand for example spending way too long on extra projects or “mentoring” other people when you should be home with your family and friends?
Or it might be that others quite unreasonably think you’re aggressive when you’re just doing the right thing?
People nowadays are so overloaded and overwhelmed – managers burned out by overwork, people struggling to juggle work and family, parents who have little time to spend with their children.
“No” is really today’s biggest challenge.
The ability to say “No” the right way is an exceptionally valuable skill in every aspect of our lives but a lot of people find it challenging because it requires finding the right balance between asserting their power and maintaining their relationships. In other words, you need to know how to say “No” in a way that protects your values and needs but without destroying your relationships.
Mastering the skill of saying “No” will put to rest all those negative feelings, which stop you from doing what you want and instead seem to insist on doing what others want from you: fear of criticism, fear of rejection, loosing friendships and support, losing authority and respect.
With the right tools and practice you will learn how to say “No” with confidence, respect and without feeling guilty.
You will never again feel like a softie.
You will win more respect and appreciation from the people that matter to you.
