Your Say No and Push Back guide

Someone asks you to do more work, finish a project sooner or take on something you don’t have time for.

This guide gives you the English to answer clearly without sounding rude or agreeing before you’ve had time to think.


Your 36-page guide includes:

  • English for buying time before you say yes

  • Replies for when you don’t have capacity

  • Ways to say a deadline doesn’t work

  • English for last-minute requests

  • Phrases for asking your manager to choose between priorities

  • Ways to push back when a task is outside your role or agreed scope

  • Replies for when you need information, approval or resources first

  • English for when someone keeps pushing after you’ve already said no

  • Ways to offer a smaller or more realistic alternative
