Hi ,

Earlier this week I shared 3 ways you can be assertive AND kind at the same time.

Do you agree?

Let me expand on what it means to be Assertive & Kind:

• You speak honestly about what you need with the important people in your life.
• You concisely say what is not OK with your friends, family, and work colleagues in a clear and calm manner.
• You address issues head on instead of ruminating.
• You look for a mutual understanding in a disagreement, rather than needing to "win" or be "right".
• You use "I" language when you feel emotional
• You trust your gut instinct in the moment.
• You think about how the other person feels but you don't let it prevent you from saying what is important for you to say.
• You ask for what you are truly worth at work.
• You have clear boundaries.
• You know how to protect yourself from a toxic person.

I share even more about HOW you can do this in my new guide, Nice Women Can Say Hard Things. You can get your own free copy HERE

Once you read through the guide and do the tried and true exercises, you'll have a communication script and checklist that you can use for ALL of your professional and personal conversations.

EXTRA CREDIT!!! If AFTER you read your guide you still have questions, you can schedule your Difficult Conversation Action Plan Call with me HERE

Stay Calm & Speak On,
