1 Know Yourself

Understanding your own communication style is the first step toward assertiveness. Reflect on how you interact with others. Are you passive, often yielding to the wishes of colleagues? Or are you aggressive, pushing your ideas without considering others' input? Neither extreme fosters a collaborative environment. Strive for assertive communication, where you express your thoughts, feelings, and needs directly and appropriately. Acknowledge your strengths and areas for growth in communication to set the stage for improvement.

Odd that feelings are mentioned, the way forward is to be collaborative, this means you can learn from your team or you can identify additional training needs or potentially outsourcing where the required skillset is not in company

2 Set Boundaries

Setting clear boundaries is essential for assertiveness. Determine what you are willing to accept in the workplace and what is non-negotiable. Communicate these boundaries to your colleagues with confidence and clarity. When you respect your own limits, you're more likely to garner respect from others. This doesn't mean being inflexible, but rather having a clear understanding of your limits and conveying them in a way that others understand and respect.

Know your limits and be prepared to say no when necessary. This helps manage your workload and maintain work-life balance. Learn how to refuse requests politely but firmly. Offer alternatives if appropriate, but don’t feel obligated to justify your decision excessively.

3 Be Direct

When you need to convey a message, be direct yet polite. Assertiveness is not about being forceful; it's about being straightforward and honest. Practice stating your needs and opinions clearly without being ambiguous or apologetic. This direct approach can prevent misunderstandings and shows others that you value both your time and theirs. It's a key step in establishing yourself as a confident and reliable member of the team.

4 Listen Actively

Assertiveness involves active listening as much as it does clear speaking. Pay close attention to what others are saying without interrupting or planning your response while they speak. By fully engaging with their ideas, you show respect and openness to collaboration. This two-way street of communication builds trust and makes it easier for you to be assertive since you've shown that you value others' input.

5 Practice Empathy

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, which is crucial for assertive communication. By considering your colleagues' perspectives, you can tailor your message in a way that is sensitive to their feelings and likely to be better received. This doesn't mean sacrificing your own needs; rather, it's about finding a common ground that respects both parties' viewpoints.

6 Stay Calm

Maintaining a calm demeanor is vital when practicing assertiveness. If you feel emotions rising, take a moment to compose yourself before responding. A calm approach ensures your message is not clouded by emotion, which can lead to aggression or passivity. By staying composed, you demonstrate control and respect for the conversation, which can defuse potential conflicts and lead to more productive outcomes.

As significant amount of communication is non verbal it is vital to use your body language effectively. For example adopting a confident posture by standing or sitting up straight, maintaining eye contact, and using open body language to convey confidence. Also use hand gestures to emphasise points but avoid overdoing it. Lastly don't forget to be mindful of your facial expressions!
