Learn Your Limit in: Set Your Boundaries Your Way: 7 Easy Ways to Say No to Difficult People by Stephanie J. Sterner

 

 

I’m at the board meeting for a local charity and it’s time for their annual Las Vegas Night. Every year I’ve been in charge of ticket sales, all the tickets: general admission, drink and betting chips. This is my favorite job, I get to be at the front table and meet everyone as they come in the door. I feel that this is a great opportunity to chat people up about the organization and what we do, make sure they take some of our brochures about programs and encourage people to learn more and become active in our organization.

Okay, so I’ve got this job down pat and I’m feeling pretty good about it, then I get a call from the chairperson of the event who says that she also needs me to be in charge of beverages this year. I really don’t want to do this, I feel I’d be overwhelmed if I also took this on, also I don’t want any alcohol in my car or house, which would be necessary. I don’t want to see it, lift it or look at it.

How do I get out of this? I know this woman, she’s smart and fast with rejoinders. I don’t feel comfortable having to verbally spar with her, I feel at a loss.

This is where I’m thankful for the Setting Boundaries book by Stephanie J. Sterner. In this book she outlines 7 different strategies for overcoming the barriers that the chairperson is going to throw out to invalidate any reason I’ll give to turn her down, also the ones I give myself such as not wanting to disappoint, not wanting conflict or how to stand up against manipulation and other controlling behaviors.

You don’t have to be at a loss in these situations if you use Stephanie Sterner’s book with 7 different strategies. You’ll learn how to express yourself clearly, value your needs as just as important as others and finally be able to walk away feeling good about yourself.

I wish I had this book a long time ago, it would have made my life so much easier. Get these invaluable strategies and incredible life lessons here – http://amzn.to/WoScXw
