If you are struggling to say 'no' in the workplace, but need a script to do it 🙏🏼gracefully, try this:

You want to say:
"That's not my problem"

A nicer way to say the same thing is

💪🏼"But this lies outside my area of expertise" (𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆)

💪🏼"Let's work to find the right person to address this issue" (𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽)
