Learn to confidently say 'no' and protect your well-being. Transform your personal and professional relationships with essential skills for effective communication.
This course is all about helping you master the art of saying 'no'. It’s designed to boost your confidence and improve your personal and professional relationships by teaching you when and how to say that tiny but powerful word.
Protect yourself from abuse and avoid the shame of giving in. Stand up for yourself without being offensive.
Saying “no” is a skill that improves personal health and the health of relationships at work, socially, and in the family. If you say “yes” when you should say “no,” you plant seeds of discontent that will grow into a nasty "weed patch" that will spoil the landscape of your life.
This course will quickly help you learn why it is difficult for you to say “no” and teach you how to say the powerful, tiny word “no” with confidence. The lively video sessions will help you learn quickly and efficiently. They are backed up by downloadable and linked resources so you will have all that you need to transform your life—to go from giving in to what others want to getting on with what you want.
This course was entirely developed and written by Richard Walters, PhD. The course includes methods that he used during his career as a licensed psychologist and workshop leader where he saw many people experience great benefits from the principles and methods in this course. Everything in the course was prepared by Dr. Walters but, because a neurological problem has robbed him of speech, he is assisted in delivery of the training by Dan Walters (the voice on lesson 5 and who appears in lessons 8 through 12) and by Greg Vonow (the narrator of lessons 1, 2, 4, and 6). We all wish you well.
It is a precious privilege to have the opportunity to learn and grow in life skills. Use the opportunity, and may you prosper!
The course is one-hour, in short, easy to understand lessons, with a self-evaluation inventory and various downloadable guide sheets including "mini-posters" that can help you change habits you haven't been able to change--until now.
Let's get going! I am ready to help you!

Rich Walters holds master’s degrees in business and counseling, and the PhD in counseling psychology (University of Georgia). He learned theories about distress such as anger and perfectionism during his training, but he learned the "real, where-the-rubber-meets-the-road" practical help that is in his courses from clinical experience as a licensed psychologist. Every strategy he recommends has worked time and again...
satisfactory and well said.
Yes it was agreat course to take. It was very simple and very informative. I loved the animation.
Better quality in recording in several places. At times it seemed narrated for children.
I'll try to learn how to say no
This course is a great free, simple and practical guide for how to say No and set boundaries with people.
I loved the retro and quirky power point slides, it actually helped with my short attention span! As well as, the example videos.
I deducted one star as in section 4.14 the author mentions about how God/religion helps with this process, which is fine if that is your belief but I feel it is not inclusive of other beliefs and it is a bit preachy. I hope that does not turn you off course as there are some very useful tips in this and it is really only that part.
Saying NO is hard for me. So, I know I have to learn how to do it and I found this course!!! It's really helpful. I know how to say NO. I will practice feeling comfortable saying NO in the future. I appreciate the tips given in this course. Thanks!
Yes, this course was. unexpectedly, a perfect match for me! The course is structured and to the point.
All visuals and audios to make us understand and remember things quickly.
Thank you for this course. I find it helpful and enjoyable. Integrating cognitive (e.g., by illustrating and challenging common underlying reasons for not saying 'no') and behavioral approaches (suggesting more than a solution to say 'no' with tact) has been beneficial. Also, the final test and the illustrations throughout the course have helped me grasp the contents.
