Technique 5: Reversing

Reversing is a subtle yet potent technique for avoiding meetings.

By reversing your approach, you essentially make the same old arguments sound new.

It's like putting on a pair of pants with the fly in front and calling it a skirt.

Example:

Instead of saying "no", try saying "yes, but with a twist".

Or, say "let's do it the other way around".

Or, simply, "I'm not saying no, I'm saying I'm rethinking the yes".
