Let Me Think About That

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Someone stops by your desk at four fifty and asks for just five minutes. Before you've had time to think, you hear yourself say yes again. Let Me Think About That is a short, practical audiobook for anyone who says yes too quickly at work and wants to stand up for themselves without being rude. It's for office workers, nurses, teachers, retail staff and anyone else who wants to be clear about what they want while staying kind to the people they work with. In about two hours, you'll learn why yes comes out so fast and what it costs you later; the difference between too soft, too harsh, and clear; a simple line that buys you time before you answer; how to say a short no and stick to it when someone pushes; how to ask for what you need in one sentence; how to speak up in meetings and finish your thought; what to say when your manager gives you more work than your week can hold; a calm stop line for when a coworker talks over you or makes you the joke; and how to keep it up without turning harsh. Each chapter takes about fifteen minutes and includes one short exercise you can do in your head. The examples are everyday moments at work, with made-up people in ordinary jobs. This is book two in the Plain and Practical series: one everyday problem, about two hours, steps you can use right away. Please note: Marijn Verbeek is a pen name.
