Why Do I Say Yes When I Want To Say No?
Many clients ask me this question and I respond with 3 of my own.
Do you think that saying yes will make people like you?
Then do you ‘beat yourself up’ and feel resentful even angry?
And…How much has that cost you emotionally, physically or financially?
I understand deeply what you are going through – you are not alone
I can help you…
The first time you say ‘no’ it can raise the fear factors of ‘I can’t do this’ or worse ‘what if they hate me’ or ‘what if my mouth goes dry?’
The next thing you know you have talked yourself into saying ‘yes’ again and you repeat your negative cycle.
Relax - I can show you how…
I have helped many people over the years to learn how to say ‘no’ and they have found a level of confidence, self esteem and self respect that they had only dreamed about.I work by getting you to acknowledge that you can say ‘no’ – it’s just a two letter word. Then I have a series of exercises that explore your past patterns, behaviours and ‘why’s.
You then make the decision - things are going to be different and say 'I can do this'
Together we explore ways to build your confidence and plan ‘how’ you can achieve this. I support this with positive feedback and explore your next steps in a supportive and non
threatening way. Taking action on these fun filled techniques including ‘pick ups for slip ups’ will see you busting to come back for more and to share your first successes.
The next thing you know you will have talked yourself into saying ‘No’, when that is best for you.
I can help you feel confident, stronger, in control and able to say ‘No’
My website has testimonials from previous clients and I encourage you to see what they have said about working with me.
But, before starting I like to meet and have an informal, no-cost meeting to start building the connection and trust that is so important for a successful coaching relationship.
If you would like to do this, when would be a good time to meet?
