Being assertive can be a challenge but being assertive virtually can be even harder. It’s all about getting the balance right between coming on too strongly vs not coming on strong enough and when we throw remote work into the mix, it’s hard to picture how we can assert ourselves when we are not even in the same room.
Having worked in sales for over 7 years and having worked remotely for 2 years, being assertive is crucial to my job title, and to all other aspects of my life. I’ve found that if I assert myself in the right way, I can influence people (only for good and never for evil, of course), share my ideas and have them heard, and if I do it in the right way, I can quickly earn others’ respect and trust.
In this blog, I want to share with you why being assertive is important no matter who you are or your job title, explain how we can all be more assertive, as well as 5 ways to assert yourself whether in person or in a virtual meeting, presentation or training session.
