Being Assertive

Ssome techniques to be expertly assertive in almost any situation you'll encounter at work... or in your personal life:

Always speak in a civil manner.

Be specific when asking for deadlines or clarification.

Be clear when voicing your opinion, and be prepared to explain your reasoning.

Don't do anything you don't agree with just to avoid conflict.

Disagree with ideas or suggestions, not people. Don't make it personal.
