NOTE

Understanding the Foundation of Saying No

When saying no, it is important to first understand the underlying reasons for your decision, which essentially represent what you are saying yes to. This sets the foundation of your purpose. Despite framing your response positively, others may still perceive it as a rejection. Therefore, it is crucial to offer a genuine alternative, not a deceptive solution. Your backup plan should not be a compromise but a valid option that addresses their concerns. To handle such situations effectively, listen actively, acknowledge their perspective with respect, and present alternative options with honesty and care.
