Learning to say NO in the workplace
Have you ever agreed to working outside your remit or to helping out a colleague when you’re already stressed and overcommitted?
Do you ever look back and wish you had been more assertive when you nodded and said yes?
We've all been there. And for many of us, it’s a mistake that we keep making again and again.
To be fair, it’s not always easy to say no - especially to people more senior than us, or colleagues we have a good relationship with.
Sometimes you're the best person for the job and sometimes you're the only one who can do it. Sometimes it's simply your turn.?
But there are situations when saying no is the best option. And when these times come, you better be ready!
Luckily for you, we've created a quick course on how to say no (the right way).?
The course includes guidance on how to recognise when NO is the responsible answer, plus a framework for structuring a polite and helpful response.
The course is completely free - no registration required. Keep it in your back pocket for tricky times or send it to a colleague who needs support setting boundaries.
There is, however, a (completely optional) favour we ask in return. We built this course with our very own toolkit, JollyDeck Create (https://www.jollydeck.com/products/authoring/), so we'd love to hear your feedback, both on the course content and the overall learning experience.?
