How to say no – without avoiding the word itself..
I remember it like yesterday – ten years ago – Emma came, just learned to talk – and asked, pappa can i..?
Not to bore you down – the point in the slow conversation then – was this;
Emma – there are two answers options always..
And after I tried to be pedagogic and coaching her… she said
Pappa said it was ok.. and she ran away
My wife came in and asked me if I was serious – and I said
I smiled..
At work – when I want to – or have to, say no, I normally just say;
Instead of no
I have these options for you (timeslots or alternatives)…
normally I try to avoid the word, so WHEN I can not
NO is powerful…
And it is normally shown by the silence that follows..
