Break the Niceness Cycle: Assertive Communication Strategies for Women
Summary
It happens too often.
Women in the workplace want to express themselves authentically, but they hold back because they’re afraid of backlash.
They avoid being assertive for fear of being labeled “aggressive”.
They stay silent in meetings when they have valuable contributions to make.
They put everyone else’s needs above their own because they don’t want to appear uncooperative or unlikeable.
They don’t ask questions because they’re worried about what others will think.
And ultimately, these people-pleasing tendencies, as well-intentioned as they might be, end up holding them back.
This 60-minute training will help professional women honor their opinions, ideas, and contributions. We’ll walk through common dilemmas that women run into in the workplace and offer practical advice for handling them.
Join us and walk away ready to stand your ground, display your talents and contributions, and claim your space in the workplace.
We’ll discuss:
- Diplomatic ways to say “no”
- Strategies for respectfully disagreeing with colleagues
- Alternatives to words and phrases that sound indecisive
- In-person and virtual-meeting practices that project self-assuredness
- And more!
