Saying “no” at work shouldn’t feel risky — but for many of us, it does.
We fear looking unhelpful, difficult, or less committed… and as a result, we say “yes” to things we absolutely shouldn’t.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to say “no” in a way that protects your time and strengthens trust.
We explore the mistakes most people make when refusing a request, and a simple framework — the “No, but Value” method — that lets you decline work respectfully and confidently.
