302 | Assertiveness vs. aggressiveness: how to communicate in a way that’s assertive but not adversarial


Listen Later

Assertive communication is a non-negotiable skill for success in your corporate career - it’s how you establish a reputation as a thought leader and it’s how you make a big impact in the work you do.

 

If you’re anything like my clients - you might struggle to communicate assertively.  You may be afraid of stepping on peoples’ toes and you may struggle to figure out how to be assertive without crossing the line into being aggressive.

 

Today’s episode will help you figure out how to be assertive without being aggressive, and how to walk that fine line between being assertive and being adversarial.  You’ll leave this episode with clarity on WHY you’re stuck in this area, and what to do about it.
