communicate with your team and family what they can expect from you.
Anything beyond that will require a simple “no.”
3. Be okay with judgment and animosity. Let’s face it, the word “no,”
especially when spoken with fervor and conviction, intimidates some
and upsets others. That is not your problem. Women have to get out of
the people pleasing business and do what’s best not only for others, but
for themselves. Don’t take someone else’s anger personally. If you are
saying “no,” because it is best for you, then stick to it nonapologetically.
In the words of my grandma, “They’ll get over it.”
4. Identify why you are saying “no.” The idea is not to say “no” just for
the sake of saying “no.” Though it can be a huge stress reliever, it’s a
declaration that must be done with purpose. As mentioned earlier, it
can cause animosity from those on the receiving end so make sure it is
beneficial for all parties involved that you do not oblige.
Interviews of highly successful people like Warren Buffet and Oprah
Winfrey have all discussed the power of “No.” When
it’s your turn to say it, know you’re in good company.
