Speech and Eloquence Tip of the Day
[If you are too embarrassed to turn down someone's request, try this high IQ technique]
If you are too embarrassed to turn down someone's request, try this high IQ technique:
Refuse positively + point out the difficulty + factual evidence + show sympathy
Example: A colleague asks for your help to change the PPT1. Sorry, I really can't help you. (Positive refusal) 2. I do PPT is not as good as you. (Point out the difficulties)
3. You are not unaware that the last time I did the report PPT was the leader called back three times, I'm changing the vomit. (Facts supporting)
4. PPT is indeed difficult to get, but I have here before someone sent me a PPT template, I can send you reference reference. (Sympathy)
Using this trick, no matter what the request is, it can both reject it once and dissolve each other's embarrassment.
