If you’re trying to find your voice and become more assertive at work, you’ve very likely confronted the fear of saying the wrong thing.  The more assertive you are, the more ideas you’re contributing, which increases the likelihood of making a faux-pas when you’re contributing.

If you fear contributing something that turns out to be incorrect, you are not alone.  And even better - this fear does NOT have to stop you from developing a confident voice and asserting yourself powerfully.  Tune into today’s episode to learn how to navigate the fear of saying the wrong thing so you can develop a powerful voice that propels you upwards in your career.

 

Enjoy!
