Episode 115: How to Say No
Most people don’t like to be told “no” when they ask for something. They don’t like to feel the disappointment, the letdown, and the frustration of not getting their needs or wants met. And many people don’t like telling someone “no,” even when it is merited. We humans need social connections and belonging. Being told “no” or giving a “no” can feel like a threat to relationship and connectedness. When we put relationships first all the time, it can be easy to forget how to say “no.” Whether at work or in your personal life, if you can’t say “no,” you will always be putting others’ needs ahead of your own. In this episode, Dr. Janel Anderson teaches you how to say “no,” with the utmost professionalism, compassion, and grace.
