1 Understand Assertiveness

Assertiveness is often misunderstood as being synonymous with aggressiveness, but there's a clear distinction. Being assertive means communicating your thoughts, feelings, and needs in a clear and respectful manner, without infringing on the rights of others. It's about being honest with yourself and others about what you want, need, and feel. The key is to assert yourself by using "I" statements that focus on your own experiences, rather than making accusatory or generalized statements that can lead to defensiveness or conflict.

Communication is all about just being yourself . BE yourself and less is always more..because 85 percent of our communication takes place through non verbal cues . So work on your body language and so on.

Assertiveness is often misunderstood for being tough, rigid & at times rude, In contrary assertiveness means being self assured, mindful and clarity of thought. Being assertive means having a clear and concise way of communicating to peer team members. As a leader, being assertive means commanding respect, as the saying goes great leaders command respect and the lesser one's demand the same.

"Assertiveness is not aggression! It's about communicating your thoughts, feelings, and needs clearly and respectfully. Use "I" statements to focus on your own experiences and avoid accusatory language. Be honest with yourself and others about what you want, need, and feel. Assertiveness is a powerful tool for building strong relationships, setting boundaries, and achieving your goals. Remember, it's okay to speak up and express yourself confidently and respectfully!"

2 Set Boundaries

Setting clear boundaries is crucial for assertive communication. It involves understanding and articulating your limits regarding what you are willing to do or accept from others. This doesn't mean you are being inflexible; rather, you're giving others a clear framework within which you can interact harmoniously. Boundaries can be about your time, your personal space, your values, or your responsibilities. Communicating these boundaries respectfully and firmly helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that your relationships are based on mutual respect and understanding.

3 Practice Active Listening

Active listening is an essential skill for assertive communication. It involves fully concentrating on what is being said rather than just passively 'hearing' the message of the speaker. By showing genuine interest in the speaker's point of view and reflecting back what you have heard, you validate their feelings and thoughts. This not only helps in building trust but also provides you with a clearer understanding of the situation, which is vital for responding assertively.

Listening is an effective way of letting the person on the other side know that you care for them, More often than not during a conversation we focus more on responding rather than listening, this is a grave mistake, by being an active listener you are building that trust factor, once the person on the other end realizes that there is someone who is genuinely listening to their concerns, it creates a sense of relief and inner satisfaction.

4 Express Empathy

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. When you communicate assertively, expressing empathy helps to establish a connection with the other person. It shows that you are not only interested in your own objectives but also care about their feelings and perspectives. Empathetic statements can defuse potential conflict and create an environment where open and honest communication is more likely to thrive.

5 Use Clear Language

To communicate assertively, it's important to use clear, concise language that conveys your message effectively. Avoid using ambiguous terms or jargon that could lead to confusion. Be specific about what you are referring to, and avoid making vague statements. This direct approach leaves little room for misinterpretation and helps ensure that your message is understood as intended.

communication is all about conveying what you intend to say in a clear and concise manner, of course a good vocabulary helps but its not necessarily a pre-requisite, often the best communicators use the simplest range of vocabulary. I would recommend usage of open ended statements, that encourage folks to raise their concerns, make the conversation more interactive rather being a mundane conversation...

6 Manage Emotions

Managing emotions effectively is a vital part of assertive communication. It's natural to have emotional responses, especially in challenging situations, but allowing emotions to dictate your communication can lead to problems. By remaining calm and composed , you can express your thoughts and feelings more clearly and assertively. This doesn't mean suppressing your emotions but rather understanding them and communicating them in a way that is respectful to both yourself and others.
