Both at home and at work, we are constantly bombarded with demands and requests, and it can be difficult to say no. However, if we do not put our own needs first from time to time, we can end up frustrated, angry and even burnt out. Assertiveness is therefore a vital asset, as it allows us to set clear boundaries and ensure that they are respected, which makes for healthier communication and professional relationships.

• Find out what is stopping you from asserting yourself at work
• Say no to unreasonable requests without hurting the other person
• Communicate effectively with both colleagues and managers

Developing your assertiveness
Problem: how can you communicate your point of view and needs while respecting other people’s opinions and boundaries?Uses: standing up for yourself without coming across as arrogant or aggressive contributes to effective, healthy communication at work.Professional context: professional relationships, personal development, social psychology, management, conflict resolution.FAQs: What is assertiveness?In what situations can assertiveness help me?How can I be assertive without coming across as aggressive or arrogant?What is the difference between assertiveness and selfishness?How can I change my behaviour to become more assertive?What impact can assertiveness have on my professional life?In both our professional and personal lives, we are often bombarded with requests and demands that are overly persistent or that seem unreasonable to us. However, all too often we do not dare to say no, either because we are afraid of disappointing the other person or because we want to avoid conflict, even though the situation leaves us feeling frustrated, upset or angry. Understandably, many of us want to learn how to avoid these kinds of situations, how to avoid simply going along with what other people ask of us, how to assert ourselves without causing conflict or disappointment, and how to stand up for ourselves without hurting other people.
There is only one solution: assertiveness. Assertiveness is often confused with arrogance or aggression, but there is a big difference between these attitudes. While the aim of aggression is to hurt other people and arrogance implies a degree of contempt for others, assertiveness is about respecting yourself and those around you. However, the boundary between these different attitudes is sometimes blurred, and it is easy to come across as threatening rather than considerate. This means that effective communication is vital, and in order to achieve this you need to be self-aware and in tune with your own needs and values.
If you struggle to put forward an argument, say no or speak up in meetings, either when dealing with your colleagues or when talking to your manager, this guide is for you. In 50 minutes, you will discover a series of key steps, tips and exercises that will enable you to develop your assertiveness.
