WORKSHOP: How to Learn the Art of Saying No
Event description
In this workshop we’ll explore what stops us from saying that controversial two letter word “no!”. More importantly, we’ll uncover what issues it causes when we don’t use it and the knock-on effect on our effectiveness and self-confidence. You’ll leave with a greater understanding of when it’s appropriate and right to use it so that your business still thrives and in the process, you’ll learn quite a lot about how you value yourself and your own time too.
Please note, this workshop will be held on location, see below for more details.
What will I learn?
- What stops you from saying ‘no’.
- Why some people find it easier to say ‘no’ than others.
- When it’s appropriate and right to use the ‘no’ word.
- How to handle a ‘push-back’.
- The benefits to you and your business of being more assertive.

Testimonials:
Chantal delivered two engaging and impactful training sessions for staff in University of Gloucestershire's Communications, Marketing and Student Recruitment team, aimed at improving their presentation skills. The training certainly delivered on that objective and more, giving participants skills that will help them grow in confidence and communication skills in both their personal and professional lives. The feedback has been incredible across the board, and I cannot recommend Chantal highly enough as a trainer. Emma Smith, Head of Communications and PR, University of Gloucestershire
Chantal was a great source of inspiration in my time knowing her. She grew a confidence in me that reached heights I could never have expected. Not only mentoring me on a 1-1 basis but also teaching me how to train others and how to approach and resolve all the problems and people I might come across. I couldn't recommend her more. Chris Staniforth, BBC floor runner
With Chantal's help I have gained tools necessary to grow my confidence and move out of my comfort zone. A highlight of working with Chantal so far has been Myers Briggs profiling and helping me to understand my personality traits which has allowed me to excel in both academic and employment settings. Highly recommend Chantal for anything development related. Jack Smith, Area Manager, Amazon
