Dr. Patrick shares: why empowered refusal is a valuable superskill that helps us say no in a way that does not invite pushback from others; the toolkit of three competencies you need to develop to effectively communicate an empowered no response; a framework to help separate the "good-for-me" from the "not-good-for-me" activities and engagements that come our way; how to establish and implement personal policies that empower your refusal; and how to use empowered refusal to manage difficult askers, strengthen your relationships, and realize your full potential.
