Saying No with Confidence: A Public Speaking Workshop

Saying No with Confidence


How can you say "no" to a boss, friend, or important stakeholder while keeping your relationship intact? In this interactive workshop, learn a finely-tuned 3-step process that will help you connect with your own source of strength in order to confidently and diplomatically say no to a request or demand. Participants will bring a real-life scenario, craft, and practice their own responses, and leave with greater confidence and skill that they can immediately apply to their most important professional situations.
