Want to understand why saying no is so hard and how it can help free up time to focus on the things that really matter to you? Professor Vanessa Patrick and I discussed this, her new book “The Power Of Saying No” and much more on Episode 64 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.
In this episode, we will learn about:
The importance of personal branding and sharing information that is of value for your audience,
Why it’s so hard to say no,
What is an empowered refusal?,
How can you say no to your boss,
The A.R.T. framework of saying no,
What is a personal policy and how it helps you to say no,
Think of saying no as a way of allowing you to spend your time the way you want rather than being dictated by someone else,
A matrix to help work out which asks you should accept or refuse through assessing their relative benefits and costs,
How to say no to “office housework” and other non promotable tasks, and
Ways of dealing with “walnuts”, people who don’t take no for an answer.

Vanessa and I talked about building a personal brand and she told me "Marketing is about creating value. When you are thinking about yourself as a brand, you have to be thinking about how do I create value in whatever I touch? And that means that you not only have to do good work, but people need to know that you can do good work ... You can think about your brand as a function of what people talk about you, your reputation and what you do, what associations do they have with you?"
