Episode notes

Saying no is its own leadership capability. With practice, politely declining an invitation has become easy for her. A non essentialist avoid saying no to avoid feeling the social awkwardness and pressure. An essentialist dares to say no fir ly, resolutely and gracefully. And so they say yes to only those things that really matter.

Does saying no make you feel awkward? Are you worried about missing out on an opportunity? Or are you fearful of rocking the boat?

In this episode, I’m talking about practical ways to make saying no easier and sharing simple strategies you can use to deliver a graceful no.

Learning to say no takes practice. But once you’ve mastered it, you will find you can handle almost any request from almost anybody with grace and dignity.
