Requirements

  • If you want to stop feeling like a pushover and gain the confidence (and competence) to be assertive whenever you need to, this course was made for you!
  • No prior experience required, just a willingness to practice

Description

How many times have you said yes when everything in you wanted to say no?

You bite your tongue to keep the peace. You let people talk over you in meetings. You agree to things you end up resenting. And then you lie awake replaying it, annoyed at yourself for not speaking up. I get it. I spent years doing exactly the same thing.

Here's the thing: being assertive has nothing to do with being aggressive or rude. It's a skill, and you can learn it like any other. In this 90-minute course I'll show you how to speak up with confidence, say no without the guilt, set boundaries people actually respect, and take criticism and rejection on the chin. Not by turning into someone you're not. By backing yourself.
