BONUS: Danny Goldberg on Boundaries, Assertiveness, and Ditching People Pleasing

Being nice and being a pushover are not the same thing, and only one of them gets you respected.Danny Goldberg wrote the book on this, literally. He's the author of "A Little Bit of A$$hole," and he joins the show to talk about the fine line between people pleasing and having real boundaries, and why the leaders who get remembered are the ones who know the difference.Here's what you'll learn:The gut-check question that tells you it's time to stop people-pleasing, before resentment builds.Why pushing harder when someone stalls backfires, and exactly what to do instead.The real difference between confidence and being a jerk, which means you can stand firm and still be liked.Why companies hire resumes and fire personalities, and why that's exactly backwards for building a team.The one thing you should never do at the end of a talk or a hard conversation, so next time you leave people with your strongest point instead of a shrug.Boundaries don't make you a jerk. They make you someone people respect.If you needed permission to stop over-explaining every no, this is it. Grab Danny's book, "A Little Bit of A$$hole," at littlebitahole.com.Connect with Danny M.
