Do you often feel that people readily undermine or dismiss your views, or as though you fail to get your opinions heard? Maybe you lack the confidence to speak up or have a habit of handling situations aggressively.
At the time, you might have felt unable to do anything about it, but by learning how to be more assertive, you can stand up for yourself and become a strong and confident communicator.
Assertiveness is a communication skill, and displaying assertiveness is essential to working with others.
Why is Assertiveness Important
We’ll look at what assertiveness can look like in the workplace, why assertiveness is important and explore some tools and techniques that you can use to further both your confidence and communication skills.
Being assertive enables you to put forward your ideas, thoughts and opinions by expressing yourself effectively. It also helps to earn others’ respect, boost your self-esteem and reduce anxiety and stress.
With assertive behaviour, you can find win-win solutions in conflicts- if the other person is also willing to have a discussion.
