Essential Self-Care

Ep 103: Assertive, Aggressive, or Angry—Which One Is It? w/ Toni Collis

Listen Later

Have you ever been labelled aggressive or angry when you’re simply asserting yourself as the only woman in the room?

In this episode, I talk with Toni Collis, executive coach and host of the Leading Women in Tech podcast, about the unique challenges and frustrations most commonly experienced by women in leadership.

We talk about:

  • The importance of diversity in leadership spaces
  • How sociocultural factors and biases impact women in the workplace, including often being labelled as too emotional or aggressive when attempting to assert ourselves
  • Transforming anger about these differences into useful pathways to continue showing up as your best self

    • This episode is for everyone—whether you identify as a woman or not—you will come away with practical tools to notice, pause, and reframe emotional responses so that you can effectively move forward in challenging situations.
