In this brief talk, Maria Kulas EMBA explains that hearing a "no" is not necessarily a negative signal. She argues that without hearing a "no" one cannot make a genuine choice, remain neutral, or be authentic in a relationship. The absence of a clear refusal leads to frustration and unspoken expectations, as people may receive an "yes" that lacks true commitment. She illustrates the point by referencing negotiation expert Chris Voss and his book "Never Split the Difference" (French title: "Ne coupez jamais la poire en deux"), suggesting that embracing a "no" can improve negotiation outcomes and relational clarity.
