091 | How to be more assertive at work – a fresh approach, with Trisha Lewis

If you feel like you should be more assertive at work, or you've had other people around you recommend that you start being more assertive, it can be hard to know what to do about it. After all, what does 'being assertive' actually mean and how can you be assertive if it isn't something that feels like it comes naturally to you?

This episode of HR Coffee Time is here to help. Professional communication coach Trisha Lewis joins career coach, Fay Wallis, to share her fresh approach to being more assertive.

Trisha talks through a whole range of ideas including:

  • The aggressive/assertive continuum
  • Self-squashing and unsquashing
  • The female 'double-bind'
  • The warmth/strength quadrant
  • Being assertive in a way that feels authentic for you
  • How feedback and role play can help
