How to say it at work ebook

If there is something you want from whoever is asking you to take on this task, then you are more likely to get it at this time than at any other. Ideally you want to negotiate for something that's of high value to you but is very easy for the other person to provide. Another good reason for asking for something in return is that it encourages the person asking to appreciate that you are doing something for them and that there is an associated cost to you.

Other people and colleagues are much more likely to appreciate the fact that you have agreed to take the job on if you make it clear that you require something in return, than if you just said 'yes' with no conditions attached. Agree terms Having done some negotiating and reached an agreement on what you will do and when, it's important to summarize the details of the deal.

Make sure you and the person making the request know exactly what you will be doing, and by when, and exactly what they will be doing in return and by when. Our Negotiating Workload Limits eBook provides practical strategies for reducing your workload to a manageable level whilst still being seen as a hard-working and diligent manager. Your checklist of questions should include the following: If your responses lead you to believe that you'd be unwise to commit yourself to completing the task, then it is in nobody's interest for you to agree to it.

Some useful questions to ask at this stage are: Asking a few pertinent questions is a good strategy to follow partly because it makes you look more professional - you want to know what the task is before you agree to take it on - and partly because it trains the other person to think things through, rather than dumping everything on you, with the additional benefit that it also allows you time to think about any implications of the work which may not be immediately obvious.

Describe: First describe the situation. Example: I know you are moving next Tuesday and need some help with carrying heavy furniture. Example: I am actually not available on Tuesday because of a prior commitment. Example: So I am unable to help. Reinforce: This is where you say something to reinforce them for going along with your answer. Example: I appreciate you thinking of me and for understanding that I cannot help. Mindful: This is really about staying mindful and focused on your goal.

Stick with the plan. Repeat yourself if necessary. Appear Confident: Even though it may be really hard to say no, doing so while appearing confident will help. Stand up straight, give eye contact, speak in an even tone…all of those things can help. You can see the importance of learning to set good boundaries with people so that you can choose to say no to the things that interfere with your ability to reach your goals.

Instead of allowing yourself to believe that saying no will ruin a relationship or cause you to miss out on things, you see that saying yes can cause more problems! How to Say It. Jack Griffin. Penguin Publishing Group. Save Not today. Format ebook. It just makes everything sound exactly what it is — rehearsed, and honestly, it's going to make you way more nervous than if you just wing it. Right away, if you are still catching yourself psyching yourself up and getting more and more nervous before you walk up to an attractive woman, you need to stop yourself right there.

If this happens, it's very simple as to what you do. Just don't do it! Let it go. Another opportunity will arise maybe not with her, but that's OK because you would've F-ed it up and felt like a loser anyways. The last thing we need is for you to continue getting rejected and what little confidence you have built up for yourself to wither away. You'll know when you're ready because you'll literally feel it.

You will feel like a complete rockstar as you're approaching her, and you will seriously knock it right out of the park. Don't worry So let's get into how: The first big mistake guys make, that we discussed in the previous section, is making themselves look too needy or desperate, and it kills any chances they have of building attraction.

Think of it like shooting the shit with your friends about random stuff going on in the world today. You'll know when the time is right. The simplest way to know is when she starts to really tell you personal details about her own life or asks you questions about yourself with intent. If she starts to subtly discuss things that make herself look better to you, this is a clear signal she's interested in impressing you and there's a great chance she subconsciously feels a sexual attraction towards you.

She is qualifying herself to you. She's now putting effort into making you like her more. Why would she do this if she didn't like you? You see how just knowing this simple fact about women makes you more confident already?

Women absolutely love a guy who always knows just what to do at the right time because they hate awkward moments!

Awkwardness kills attraction, but always knowing what to do or say builds attraction. See when men try to qualify themselves to a woman they just met, it very often has a negative impact on their chances with a woman.

You need to give the idea that you are confident enough that you don't need to tell her how good you are. She doesn't care that you got a 4. She'll come to find this out later on anyways if you guys end up together. You need to be so confident that you know you can get any girl you want without even trying.

Now that is what makes women attracted to you: when they think you can get any woman you want and she needs to be the one trying to get you attracted to her. Before we even get more in-depth into what conversions lead to building attraction, we need to discuss one of the most important parts of being confident and showing her that you are confident — body language.

The Power of Subconscious Persuasion Through Body Language Let's just dive right into a scenario: you're at a bar, club, park, or whatever public place and you see a girl you'd like to talk to. You do this by walking up straight and taking big, purposeful strides.

However, you do not make a path directly to her as this would freak her out. You need to walk as if you're walking to a point near her but not directly at her. Keep your chin up with a subtle yet unyielding boyish smirk on your face. Don't look directly at her. Once you get near her, walk a bit beyond where she's standing or sitting.

Do not turn directly towards her. Keep one of your shoulders pointed towards her and turn your face to meet hers. If you face her straight on with your chest pointed at her, it will immediately send a subconscious signal to her that turns her off.

Once you've approached her with confidence, use a conversation starter that we'll discuss later. Just don't immediately offer to buy her a drink. When you begin to talk to her, make sure your voice is loud, deep, and manly.

You need to signal to her with your voice and posture standing straight up, chin up, eyes pointing slightly down to meet hers that you're a manly man — strong, confident, and ready to fulfill her primal sexual desires without actually saying it or acting like a cocky douchebag. If you approach a girl on the phone with her boyfriend and start spittin' game at her Again, you're a smart guy and you already knew that.

So let's get into it. She'll look at you like that insurance salesman you can't wait to get rid of. You'd listen to what he has to say with an open mind This is because you trust him or her. You've known your friend for a while. When you first met, there was no reason for either of you not to talk to each other. Maybe you met at school or in your neighborhood. You were both bored and started shooting the shit together. You had a mutual interest to interact with each other unless your friend is just an incredible salesman :P.

This works similarly with women. Before you build rapport with them and try to get something out of the interaction between the two of you, she needs to trust you first. If you just want to approach a girl that scares the shit out of you, differentiate yourself from those other hundreds of jocks that have tried to hit on her.

Start out with something that will make her inner compassion come out. Make it seem like you are in need of some assistance with some random crap that has nothing to do with her. For example, it can be as easy as asking her for the time or even for directions to somewhere.

See how she responds. If she's in a good mood and feels like helping a random stranger with a simple request that is easy for her, you've got yourself a chance to gradually escalate things. Just don't take it too far too fast. I'm horrible with directions. Are you heading that way? Do you mind if I tag along until I see it? Again, I'm not talking about rehearsing exactly what to say, but keep some bullet points written down or in your head depending on how good your memory is about current events, pop culture, sports, music, movies, food, or whatever you can talk about for hours and hours on end without any effort.
