Break the Niceness Cycle:
Assertive Communication Strategies for Women

It happens too often.

Women in the workplace want to express themselves authentically, but they hold back because they're afraid of backlash.

They avoid being assertive for fear of being labeled "aggressive".

They stay silent in meetings when they have valuable contributions to make.

They put everyone else's needs above their own because they don't want to appear uncooperative or unlikeable.

And ultimately, these people-pleasing tendencies end up holding them back.

This training will help professional women honor their opinions, ideas, and contributions. We'll walk through common dilemmas that women run into the workplace and offer practical advice for handling them.
