The Art of Speaking Up

284 | Overcoming obstacles to assertiveness, part 1: overcoming the fear of being aggressive / inauthentic


Listen Later

If you struggle to communicate assertively, you’re not alone.  I’ve coached over 100 women and assertiveness is one of the most common struggles I’ve seen as a coach.

The good news is, there IS a way to become more assertive and there’s a way to do it that can feel GOOD and AUTHENTIC to you.  So many women worry that in order to be assertive, they have to act rude, aggressive, or inauthentic.  This actually isn’t true and this belief is based on a misunderstanding of what assertiveness actually is.

In today’s episode, I’m helping you shift your mindset around assertiveness and I’m showing you that true assertiveness will always feel authentic when your mindset is in the right place.

Tune in to hear how one simple mindset shift can change the entire game for you when it comes to assertiveness.  I can’t wait to dive in!!
