Empowering and Effective Ways to Say No
Saying no in a way that stems from your identity and using words like I don't is more empowering and effective in persuading the other person. When saying no, it's important to remember that it is about you and not a rejection of the other person. By giving voice to your values, priorities, preferences, and beliefs, you are not making it personal or a rejection of the other person. This approach changes the dynamic and allows you to maintain or even strengthen the relationship.
