The Art of Asking Effectively for What You Really Want

This week it’s International Women’s Day and the theme is all about choosing to challenge.

We are also discussing how to be assertive and how to ask effectively for what you really want, whether that be at work or home.

Some feel that by being assertive means being difficult, pushy, demanding and trying to get your own way but it’s actually more about communicating and expressing yourself clearly, concisely and directly but diplomatically. You are far more likely to be effective doing the above than if you try to steamroller over others’ wishes and opinions.

On this week’s podcast episode we’re joined by Antoinette Dale Henderson, keynote speaker, executive coach and founder of the Gravitas Program and author of Leading With Gravitas and Power Up.

We’re talking about how to become more assertive as a woman, whether you needing to communicate more effectively with managers or your partners or kids to get the balance you need. Tune in here.
