The Power of Saying No with Vanessa Patrick
Manage episode 433843293 series 3262814
This week on SkyeTeam's People First, we sit down with HR veteran Vanessa Patrick, Associate Dean for Research, Executive Director of Doctoral Programs (PhD and DBA), Professor of Marketing, and lead faculty member of the Executive Women in Leadership Program at the Bauer School of Business at the University of Houston.
In her new book, The Power of Saying No, Vanessa delves into the new science of saying no and introduces the ground-breaking concept of “empowered refusal”—a proven framework for saying no that puts you in charge of your life — and reveals some surprising secrets about the power of the word no.
Here are some key takeaways you won't want to miss:
- 04:16 The Pivot Point: Vanessa discusses the pivotal moment when she decided to pursue a career outside of medicine.
- 13:00 Power Dynamics: the challenges of saying no to peers vs. power.
- 20:30 Vanessa highlights the gender-specific biases that can influence how the "no" is perceived.
In this series, we explore the people side of successful business and careers. We all have a story to share, a leadership journey we are experiencing. We'll be interviewing authors, business leaders, thought leaders, and people like you to uncover the latest ideas, resources, and tools to help you become more effective at work - and in life. As it turns out, the secret is cultivating winning relationships. Business is personal, and relationships matter!
