Assertiveness is not about being aggressive or domineering; it's about expressing your thoughts, feelings, and needs in a clear and respectful manner. It's a critical skill in leadership development coaching because it helps you to establish boundaries, make decisions that are in the best interest of your team or organization, and ultimately lead with confidence and integrity.

1 Understand Assertiveness

Understanding assertiveness is the first step towards mastering difficult conversations and negotiations. Assertiveness is the quality of being self-assured and confident without being aggressive. It's a balanced approach where you respect your own rights and the rights of others. When you're assertive, you communicate your thoughts and desires clearly and directly, while also considering the perspective of the other party. This approach fosters open communication and can lead to more productive and respectful interactions. Remember, being assertive means standing up for yourself while also valuing the relationship you have with the person you're communicating with.

One thing I've found helpful is keeping the big picture in mind and acknowledging that the vision is bigger than any one individual. Approaching any issue from this perspective makes the other party cognisant of this and they appreciate the feedback or positive criticism you share.

Assertiveness is often misunderstood especially as a Leader. It is not about ruling with an iron fist or talking down to your team. It's about being perfectly balanced. Firm but compassionate. Standing up for yourself but valuing others and not talking down to anyone. This alignment will allow you to effectively communicate with your team and others so that you gain their respect and support. These are keys to being a highly effective leader.

2 Set Clear Goals

Before entering any challenging conversation or negotiation, it's crucial to set clear goals. Knowing what you want to achieve helps you steer the conversation and remain focused on the outcomes that matter most. Your goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). This framework ensures that your objectives are clear and attainable. By having a clear understanding of your goals, you can assertively communicate your needs and expectations, making it easier for the other party to understand where you're coming from and what you're aiming for.

One thing I've found helpful is being honest with yourself at this stage. The goal should not only be clear in terms of semantics but you should be able to clearly see your value to attain it. It helps you to stay focused and diligent to play your part no matter the challenges that come your way.

3 Practice Empathy

Practicing empathy is vital when navigating tough discussions. Empathy involves putting yourself in the other person's shoes and attempting to understand their feelings and perspective. This doesn't mean you have to agree with them, but it does mean acknowledging their emotions and viewpoints. By demonstrating empathy, you create a supportive environment for open dialogue. This approach can de-escalate tensions and foster a sense of mutual respect. Assertive leaders use empathy to build rapport and trust, which can lead to more successful and amicable negotiations.

If you are able to present yourself as empathetic to general issues as well; as you discuss by the coffee machine or at the parking lot, you are more believable as one who is supportive and that you care about others. In other words, be seen and really be empathetic in and out of work.

4 Communicate Clearly

Clear communication is the cornerstone of assertiveness. It involves expressing your thoughts, feelings, and needs in a straightforward and honest manner. Avoid using ambiguous language or beating around the bush. Instead, use "I" statements to take ownership of your perspective, such as "I feel" or "I believe." This personalizes your message without casting blame. Additionally, maintain eye contact and use a firm yet calm tone of voice to convey confidence. By communicating clearly, you reduce misunderstandings and set the stage for a constructive exchange.

One thing I've found helpful is to consciously practice clear communication; not just infront of a mirror but with people. You could practice this with family and friends and assess the impact on them and their response.

5 Maintain Composure

Maintaining composure during challenging interactions is essential. It's easy to let emotions take the lead, but as an assertive individual, you must keep your cool. Take deep breaths, pause before responding, and remain mindful of your body language. Keeping a level head allows you to think more clearly and respond more effectively. Composure also signals to the other party that you are in control and capable of handling the situation professionally. Remember, how you say something is often as important as what you say.
