Remember all those 80’s sitcoms that drilled that "No means no" message into our skulls? By simply uttering the two-letter word we were supposed to circumvent danger. Now while we might not be experiencing rape, violence and drugs at work (unless of course you work for a major media company), the word "no" can still be a valuable tool. We can say it in our minds over and over again, but when push comes to shove, many of us chicken out.
Saying "no" at work might seem like a career killer. But fear not you cube dweller, there’s hope ahead! The American Management Association is offering a FREE one-hour Webinar that will help you tell your boss to buzz off – all while keeping your job!
