If You Can't Say Something Nice, What DO You Say?:
Practical Solutions for Working Together Better

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 by the same title provides practical approaches and actual phrases for those times when you need to tactfully clue someone in, deflect the negative comment of a well-meaning friend, or let a coworker know what he or she is doing drives you crazy -- without destroying the relationship.  Learn how to deal with communication drama at work and at home -- even when you'd rather not say anything at all.

This presentation will provide answers to such questions as:

• How do I know if I should confront a situation or just let it go?
• What can I do to soften the sting when I give negative feedback or share bad news with an employee?
• How do I share concerns with a client or business colleague without getting ugly or destroying the relationship?
• What should I do if someone asks my opinion and I 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?"
