160. From Passive to Powerful: Transforming Your Communication Style
Manage episode 391198933 series 2843251
For many socially reluctant professionals, being assertive and advocating for themselves can be challenging. Assertiveness involves expressing your thoughts, feelings, and needs in a direct and honest manner while respecting the rights and feelings of others. Factors that can contribute to experiencing difficulty in speaking up include personality traits, cultural and societal influences, and fear of conflict. This can be the greatest one, as many people fear confrontation and conflict, leading them to avoid assertive communication to prevent potential disagreements or negative reactions from others.
Overcoming difficulties in being assertive often involves self-awareness, practice, and, in some cases, seeking support from friends, family, or professionals such as therapists or communication coaches. Developing assertiveness skills can contribute to better communication, improved relationships, and increased self-confidence.
