🔥[01-06] Practice assertiveness to stop being taken advantage of


Listen Later

Chris Patterson: I want to know how to leave a job gracefully.

  • Shift from I hate asking for money to learning mode and practice assertiveness as a skill, using this real world obstacle to build confidence with very low stakes.
  • Reframe worst case scenarios by comparing short term discomfort of assertiveness to long term cost of being taken advantage of.
  • You're not wired to feel guilty if you stand up for yourself and set a boundary. These issues were developed through life experiences.
  • Push yourself outside of your comfort zone to the hardest version of what you can do in this situation.
  • Separate emotion from facts by clearly restating what was agreed upon. Recognize that this is 100% a “them” problem.There's nothing about this that is your problem to solve.
