Simple Steps to being more assertive at work.

Most of us find it hard to be assertive in certain situations. This can be a particular problem at work. You might
be afraid of offending colleagues, or possibly even losing your job if you don’t do everything you are asked to.
However, being assertive can actually help you become a more effective employee if you do it in the right way.
There are a few simply things you can do to be more assertive:

-Be assertive in meetings: Part of this is your body language. Sit or stand in confident, relaxed way and look at
people when you are talking to them. Make sure your voice is calm and clear. Listen to others, but make sure
your voice is heard too.

-Use assertive language with colleagues: Remember that everyone has the right to say “no”, even at work and
even to a superior. If necessary, explain why in a calm, polite way. Use sentences that start with /… . and
explain how you feel and what you want.

-Manage other people with clear explanations: When you need someone to do something for you, explain what
you, explain what you want clearly. If necessary, repeat yourself, maybe using different words. Check the other
person’s understanding, and welcome any suggestions he or she makes.

-Manage clients carefully and assertively: When you are dealing with clients or customers, particularly ones who
are not happy with your service, show that you understand their problems. Try to avoid saying what you can’t do
and focus more on what you can do. Clearly explain the advantages of any suggestions you have.
