Usually I reserve book recommendations for the recommendation section. But William Ury’s  book, The Power of a Positive No : How to Say No and Still Get to Yes<\/em>, is potentially so transformative that I wanted to share with you a bit of what I distilled after reading it and using the suggested strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The step by step process he sets out can help you set your boundaries (say NO)  based on your values and needs, while still retaining  your relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have ADD and impulsiveness is a challenge for you, then you likely have experienced the effects of communicating  in a way that not only damages your relationships, but does not get you what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may know what you want or don’t want in a given situation. What you also need is an effective strategy that would enhance your chances of actually achieving that objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have ever had trouble setting boundaries ( and who hasn’t?),  I encourage you to read this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stepping out onto the balcony
<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently I moved, and was having work done to our new place. I found myself getting increasingly frustrated as the work dragged on and on and… Ok, you get it. Many times I just wanted to say forget it, but that would be shooting myself in the foot; I really did want the work done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Since I was in the middle of reading Ury’s book, I decided to give his strategy a try. (Below are a few excerpts from the email I sent regarding the time table for the work that needed to be done.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, rather than throw in the towel,  I went to the balcony, which is how Ury refers to the time necessary to think and gain clarity. It can be  5 minutes, an hour or a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying YES
<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While out on the balcony, the first step<\/strong> is gaining clarity on the underlying needs or values in setting a particular boundary. That is, identifying what we are saying yes to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In taking the time I needed to think,  I was able to conclude that I needed to have my time and space respected. I also needed peace and quiet in my home, which are important values for me. Once I knew what I wanted, I could communicate these ( my YES).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I try to establish some normalcy and consistency for ________ (my daughter), the time available for work to be done will be very limited now that summer is coming to close.
<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying NO<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After delivering a YES, the next step<\/strong> is to respectfully set boundaries, say NO. Only after communicating my YES did I express my NO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Saturday from 10:00-2:00 will work for you to work on the kitchen. I do want to have work completed by 2:00. I imagine that this will only give you enough     time to scrap. We will have to negotiate another time to paint.
<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concluding with a YES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I concluded the email with a YES, intended to maintain the relationship<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this does not work for you, please let me know, and we can agree on another mutually convenient time.
<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outcome:
<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My initial impulsive response was to say, “forget it”! This would not have served my interest at all. By using Ury’s strategy, I was able to say NO and still get to YES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what I received in response to my email:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday from 10:00-2:00 will work for me too. No problem about your schedule limitations, I’m sure we’ll find some mutually suitable times to finish what we are set to do.
<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was out by 2:00, whereas on previous occasions he had worked far beyond the time limit I had set. Although I can’t be sure, I think underscoring why<\/strong> (my values and needs) it was important to me for him to be out by 2:00 helped ensure that my request was respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm…, I achieved my objectives, a painted kitchen, respectful communication and clear boundaries. It worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get the book and try it yourself. Let me know how it works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
