Don’t Take Yes for an Answer
Wednesday, March 1, 2023 @ 12:00 pm — 1:00pm (MST)
Working together effectively relies on people being able to say both “yes” and “no.” But when was the last time you said “no” to your boss? And when was the last time someone gave you a “counterfeit yes” and didn’t follow through with what they agreed to? This session will explore how power and positional authority affect people’s ability to say no. We will also introduce three techniques to help you know that when someone says “yes,” they mean it.
Please note: All of our Learning Labs are interactive sessions using Zoom and Miro. They are not just us talking to a slideshow. We invite all participants to collaborate on a virtual whiteboard (Miro) and engage in conversations with us and each other. While you are welcome to join in audio-only mode, it will be a challenge to participate, and you may not get much out of the session. Because these sessions are interactive, we do not record them. If you are not familiar with Miro, you can learn more at academy.miro.com.
