Can we talk about this?
Hmmm...that would be a ..NO?
Ever had someone start out a conversation with "Can we talk?" and the first thing that comes to your mind is, "OH crap!" Ya, me too. Hate it when that happens.
As you're listening to the person begin their conversation, your mind wanders off to all the possibilities of what "could be wrong." You're so wrapped up in your personal mind conversation that you aren't even listening to them speak...that is, until you hear the words, "so you're ok with it then?"
Ya....that would be "Oh crap" moment #2.
What do you say. Yes? without being totally aware of what you are agreeing to? I urge you to rethinkg your strategy!
I mean, seriously! You could've just agreed to donate your left kidney to someone's Uncle Bob who smokes three paks of cigs a day, has three teeth in his mouth (and two of them are crooked), and can't see his feet cuz his tummy hangs to his knees.
Well if ain't "Yes"...then ...No?
They got you here! If you say "No", then you'd best be ready to back up the reasons for you saying to " No" to whatever they were proposing. This could be very, VERY bad.
, "I'll think about it and get back to you tomorrow." might just work. That's always an ace in the hole...UNTIL... they say, "sure, but don't take too long, it's urgent that I have your answer asap."
They got you! Now what do you do? Ask them, "soooo exactly what were you talking about again?" Like that will get you brownie points! Smooth move Einstein!
No the best way to handle this is to simple go lay under your desk, cover up with a blanket and suck your thumb praying that the other person develops a fast moving case of amnesia or gets hit by a truck!
And have a nice day!
