Being assertive is a cornerstone of the ENGAGE Model. It’s about confidently expressing your thoughts, needs, and ideas without coming across as aggressive.
Here’s how to master assertiveness:
– Use a firm yet respectful tone.
– Align your words, voice, and body language.
– Practice in front of a mirror to refine your style.
Assertiveness helps you guide conversations, build trust, and influence others effectively. Remember, it’s not about overpowering—it’s about standing your ground with confidence and respect.
