Introduction2:16
Assertiveness at the workplace is a vital communication skill that allows you to effectively manage challenging situations, regardless of the office politics and difficult personalities.

The Impact of Apology - Accept your wrongdoings and be prepared to apologize4:21
In our fast- moving world, more and more people find it difficult to admit to their fallibility. They believe it would denude them, expose their defects, and therefore make it more painful and laborious in their strive for success and recognition.
Express Yourself - It is not what you know, but what you do with your knowledge4:25
During staff meetings, some workers prefer to hide themselves in the back row. If there is only one table in the boardroom, then they maintain a solid distance from the boss or presenter.
Manage Your Speech - 38% of the impression you make comes from your tonality2:52
The voice is a tool for communication. If used properly, it will attract people’s attention. However, if misused, it may repel others and you will be ignored. During the listening process, people try to decode the verbal message that is being sent to their ears.

Think Positive Part 1 - Summon the power to think positive2:23
One of the side effects of our professional life is that we encounter obstacles from time to time. We may not have influence on these drawbacks, but we can decide how to react to them.
Think Positive Part 2 - Seek a positive outcome of the interaction3:53
You are supposed to be having a meeting with an important customer or the CEO of your company. Tell yourself that it is an honor and a rare opportunity to prove yourself and become more visible.
Opportunities - Try to excel where others have failed or have failed to try3:33
If your goal is to assert yourself in your company, then it is essential for you to make use of those big opportunities that appear only from time to time during your career.

Extend The Comfort Zone - You will become more visible and influential4:12
The comfort zone is a state in which you feel secure. You accept what you have and even if there are certain things you would love to change, you remain passive because changes mean collaborating with the unknown.
The Human Obstacles - Get the whole crowd on your side3:54
I am continually bombarded with questions about how to be assertive to trouble makers when conducting a meeting or presentation. One of the worst thing that could happen is when an attendee begins to use his cell phone or iPad during the meeting.

Conflicts Part 1 - Be prepared to acknowledge the disagreement2:31
Being assertive does not mean that you will always succeed in getting what you want and that others will always be obliging.
Conflicts Part 2 - Are you having a hard time with one of your co-workers?2:25
Are you having a hard time with one of your co-workers? Do not ridicule or belittle him behind his back.
Conflicts Part 3 - Mannerisms In Confrontational Workplace2:05
What are the best mannerisms to practice with a co-worker who acts verbally abusive in a cubicle environment?

Pay Raise Part 1 - Talk freely & honestly about your strengths and achievements2:25
Asking for a pay raise is still considered to be one of the most stressful things at work. This is because workers are afraid that they may be perceived as being too arrogant and egotistic.
Pay Raise Part 2 - Be prepared to react in the case of a negative outcome2:35
When you walk into your boss’s office with your pitch, you also need to be prepared to react in the case of a negative outcome.

Criticism - They will find flaws in your achievements at work3:15
It is normal that when we achieve success at work, a few of our colleagues will become jealous and negative emotions will accumulate in their system.
Feedback Part 1 - Gain control of the situation and achieve a win-win result3:33
You have noticed that one of your subordinates is falling behind with his tasks, which is hampering the progress of the other team members. In addition, the work he was able to complete is of poor quality and requires modifications.
Feedback Part 2 - Constructive feedback lies between two layers of praise3:01
Managers who lack assertiveness may refrain from giving constructive feedback to their subordinates. Even though their intention is to improve the performance of their employees, they are afraid that it would annoy them, destroy the relationship and demotivate the workers.

Dress Like A Winner - The key to assertiveness lies in the way you are dressed3:50
The key to assertiveness lies in the way you are dressed for work. Before leaving your home, make sure you look neat and tidy and your attire is suitable and in accordance with your professional environment.
Body Language Part 1 - Stand up straight and push your shoulders back4:13
I think we all remember how our parents, grandparents and teachers reacted whenever we happened to lower our heads, slouch our shoulders, hunch our backs and walk sluggishly. They became angry and scolded us because we looked like losers.
Body Language Part 2 - Show people that you are open and sincere2:41
In order to boost your assertiveness, it is important to show people that you are open, sincere and willing to collaborate.
Body Language Part 3 - Reveal your real thoughts and intentions2:45
There is one more important body language that should be taken into consideration when trying to assert yourself during the interaction. It is the body angle.
