Saying “no” does not always come easily, especially to women. But there are ways you can politely and diplomatically decline invitations or offers. Saying “no” is also an important part of clarifying what matters to you and what you can allocate your limited resources to. So learn to say “no”, so you can say “yes” to the right things.
