  • Easy. I've been told that I'm assertive in a diplomatic way. I'm nice but if I'm not okay with something then I will make that known

    • Assertive in a diplomatic way is a really good skill! What tips do you have to share with women that aren't great about it?

      • I try and use positive language whenever I can, but in a way that still gets my point across. Be clear about what you want or are not okay with without using accusatory or negative wording, establish boundaries and be honest about how you feel! Use "I" statements (ie, "I disagree with that" rather than "you're wrong") and try to keep a calm but confident tone. It's something that requires practise but over time it should come more naturally!

        • Those are great tips! I often say "I see it differently" rather than "I disagree" but you can't tred softly when you're being assertive
