Ask For Help/Just Say No!
On this encore edition of HearSay, we’re talking about two small words that can be so very tough to say. You know so many people have a hard time asking for “help” when they need it. Peggy Collins is the author of “Help Is Not A Four-Letter Word.” She’s says our reluctance is a silent epidemic that’s hurting america’s productivity and stressing us out. That other small word that is often so very difficult for some of us to say is “no.” We’ll talk with two authors who offer several ways you can say “no” in a more positive way.
