Assertiveness Skills –
Assertiveness enables us to communicate our opinions, thoughts, beliefs and emotions in an effective and confident way – without being passive nor aggressive.
Four ideas to increase success include:
- When saying no, remember to be gracious by always offering an alternative.
- Use three sentences to disagree diplomatically. First, paraphrase to demonstrate your understanding of their recommendation. Second, acknowledge the value of their recommendation. Third, present your own recommendation
- Ask questions to ensure that you work together to a resolve conflict when an issue is important to you. i.e.: What do you need? How can we resolve this situation? What would it take to fix this?
- Information is power; use the additional information to establish common ground and mutual goals.
