Ep. 17: How To Be Assertive Without Sounding Aggressive

Most people think being assertive means speaking up more. That’s not the problem. The problem is how you come across when you do. In this episode of With Karen D. The Podcast, I break down the real difference between being assertive and being aggressive and why so many people either hold back to keep the peace or push too hard and throw off the whole room. I walk you through how to regulate yourself before you respond, clean up your language so you’re not over-explaining, and hold your position without needing to win or convince. Because assertiveness isn’t about being louder. It’s about being clear enough that you don’t need to be.Make sure to subscribe, like and turn on your notifications so you know every time a brand new video is released.https://www.youtube.com/@KarenDonaldsonInc Interested in going deeper with us?
