How I Learned to Be Assertive (and stopped being a pushover!) [083]

February 01, 2023 • Kara Ronin • Season 3 • Episode 83

Becoming more assertive in your communication can be challenging. I know from personal experience. I used to be a very passive communicator. I could never say “no”. I could never set boundaries. And I had a lot of difficulty speaking up to share my true thoughts and opinions with people. But then I learned how to be assertive. And my interactions with others completely changed. I was more in control of my deacons. I felt more included in conversations. And I felt my ideas and opinions were being respected.

Learning how to be assertive has changed my life. And in this episode, I give you an insight into what pushed me to become more assertive, the nine steps I took to become more assertive and what happened afterwards.

If you’re someone who want to be more assertive when you communicate, this episode is for you!
