It’s not about being the loudest or most insisting person in the room. It’s not about having to always be in charge. It’s not about using power to get your way. Authentic Assertiveness is about being comfortable speaking your mind, asking for what you want, saying no, saying yes, taking initiatives, handling disagreements, setting boundaries, giving invitations - and all the other things that make our lives better. Its about communicating with others in a connected way which will make you stand out as not just assertive and influential but also respectful and more socially intelligent than most. In other words, people won’t listen to you because you’re loud, forceful, or domineering. They’ll listen to you because you’re connected
