How to say NO! EP56 05/28/2025


1. Be Direct but Polite

Example: “Thank you for thinking of me, but I won't be able to help with this.”

  • Clear and honest.

  • Avoids over-explaining or making excuses.


2. Offer an Alternative (if appropriate)

Example: “I can't do this right now, but maybe [someone else] can help.”

  • Shows helpfulness without committing.

  • Keeps the relationship positive.


3. Use the "Delayed No"

Example: “Let me check my schedule and get back to you.” (Later: “I gave it some thought, and I won't be able to take it on.”)

  • Gives you time to consider.

  • Softens the impact of saying no.
