Standing Up for Yourself at Work
Catherine St Louis
Health reporter for the New York Times
One of the struggles I have had throughout my career is saying yes to something and then kicking myself when the time came for me to do the requested task. I would get mad at myself and regret saying yes when I should have said no! Here are a couple of techniques for setting boundaries with co-workers and the boss!
- Always begin with an “other” focus. “I know it is important for you to have a strong committee membership.”
- State your need. “At the moment, I am over whelmed with quarterly reports and will be unable to participate.”
- Affirm the relationship and offer a possible solution: “It is important to me that your project is a success and I know committee membership is key. I would suggest contacting the VP for additional suggestions. She is good at rotating responsibilities.”
- Yes-No-Yes sandwich Say yes to yourself, no to the request and yes to the relationship. Often we forget to day yes to the relationship.

You Don't Say is the first book to explore the misunderstandings that often arise between the sexes due to nonverbal communication — and to show readers how to say what they mean and get what they want. More than words, it's nonverbal cues that have the power to improve — or impair — our interactions with the opposite sex at home and in the workplace. |
