If you want to advance into leadership roles (and thrive once you’re in them), you have to master the skill of assertiveness.
I see lots of women get stuck when it comes to assertiveness because they think they need to be more aggressive & domineering in order to be assertive (and they *hate* doing this).
But what if I told you that your natural kindness and empathy are your greatest superpowers when it comes to assertiveness?
It’s true - effective assertiveness isn’t about being the most domineering person in the room. It’s about knowing how to walk the line between directness and collaborativeness - and I believe that kind, empathic humans are equipped to do that better than anyone else. Tune into today’s episode to begin developing an assertive communication style that honors your authentic personality & your values (because it IS possible).
I hope you find this episode permission-giving and liberating!
