Boost Your EI: Confidently Assertive

What makes saying 'no' so difficult? Or speaking up, challenging the status quo, asking for that promotion or raise?

It's a miriad of things really and high on the list is the voice in our head that tells us we shouldn't.

Or the story we write that convinces us of bad things happening if we do.

Or the internal saboteur that conjures up excuses or reasons that lead us down "feeling badly about ourselves" road.

Assertiveness is more than being confident saying no. 

It’s confidence in asking for that raise, sharing your opinion-thoughts-ideas, challenging the status quo, being the first to raise your hand and volunteer, speaking your mind-truth-feelings, asking for the promotion…in a way that is non-offensive and non-abrasive. 

Which is often why people shy away from assertiveness. 

Because they believe they have to be aggressive, brutish, unkind. 

This couldn’t be further from the truth. 

In this lunch and learn we will focus on the skill of assertiveness and it's many colours through a guided self-discovery exericse that makes visible how your feelings (emotions) and thinking are derailing your ability to be confidently assertive!

It's time to step into your life empowered, powerful, and in control!
