Know your workload

This will remind you of your existing priorities and assist you in determining what more, if anything, you are currently capable of handling.

Offer an alternative solution

You can offer to assist them in finding an alternative method to complete the task even if you are unable to provide a solution.

Be clear and concise

Express your refusal in a straightforward manner without providing a long explanation. Make sure your answer is brief and straightforward.

Redirect the conversation

Provide support in an alternate domain, recommend someone who could be of use, or inquire about more avenues for your contribution.

Politely and clearly decline

The likelihood of miscommunication increases with ambiguity. Make sure your no is concise and precise to avoid any confusion.

When it’s not a priority

Saying ‘no’ and establishing boundaries are acts of self-care. It also has to do with realising your own top priorities in the workplace.

Use assertive language

Speak assertively to communicate your choice and maintain your position. Reluctant or unclear language should be avoided.
