Topic:

“If You Can't Say Something Nice, What DO You Say?”

We've all been told "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."   This high energy presentation based on Sarita's new book provides practical approaches and positive phrases for those times when you need to say something NOT so nice.  Learn how to tactfully clue someone in, deflect the negative comment of a well-meaning friend, or let a business colleague know what he or she is doing drives you crazy -- without destroying the relationship. 

This workshop will provide answers to such questions as:

How do you know if you should confront a situation or just let it go?

How do you share concerns with a client or business colleague without getting ugly or destroying the relationship?

How can you soften the sting when you give negative feedback or share bad news with an employee?

What should you do if someone asks your opinion and you have nothing good to say?

What's the best way to respond to nasty comments like “that's a dumb idea,” “ I knew you couldn't do it” or “what were you thinking?"
