Here are some real-life examples shared: Withholding Information: If a colleague is withholding information, try speaking directly to them, clearly articulating your needs and the benefits of collaboration. If this doesn’t work, consider seeking advice from a third party or involving their manager to help move things forward without appearing to complain. This ensures the problematic individual is aware of the situation but handled professionally. Condescending Comments: When a colleague speaks condescendingly to you, consider inviting them to explain what they would do in your shoes. For instance, if someone says, "You don’t know what you’re doing," ask them to solve the problem. Often, they’ll realize your approach was correct, leading to greater respect and support in future interactions. Questioning Your Role: If someone questions your deservingness of a role, respond by asking them to clarify their concerns. For example, if they say, "I’m not sure why you are here since you don’t have X skill," ask questions to help them better articulate their concerns so that you can have a productive conversation. Bias and Growth: If a colleague suggests you won’t grow or get ahead due to bias, address it directly. For instance, if they say, "You won't advance here," remember that you have the power to choose what you believe in. Choose not to believe in those who don’t believe in you. And commit to win. Gender Bias: If you face gender bias, such as a preference for speaking to a male colleague, address it directly. Politely assert your credibility by stating that they can choose to speak with you or forgo the service. This reinforces your authority and sets clear boundaries. Silenced: When asked to not talk or stay silent by a colleague, try to address it directly with them. State your intention for speaking, reaffirm the relationship, and let them know what changes you expect. You might find out they are going through some personal challenge and get an apology. Clashing Interests: If workplace clashes are impeding your ability to work, seek opinions on how to handle the situation. Escalate the issue if necessary, and don’t be afraid to choose your well-being by speaking up over silently enduring toxic environment. Speaking up takes courage but can inspire others watching from the sidelines. Overall, handling difficult colleagues with integrity involves clear communication, assertiveness, and a commitment to maintaining professionalism and self-respect. These approaches not only resolve conflicts but also inspire others and promote a healthier work environment.

In this podcast episode, we discuss the daily habits that can reduce speaking anxiety with stress management coach, former executive, and host of the podcast "The OverThinker's Guide To Joy" Jackie de Crinis. We begin by discussing how anxiety can be created by speaking up or not speaking up, and the various negative emotions associated with consistently not expressing ourselves. We explore the initial hurdle of speaking up, which causes anxiety because of fear of the unknown. We then provide strategies to help people speak up, including assertive communication, which involves psychology and negotiation. We explain how empathy can help with assertiveness, and how building relationships with people can make it less likely for them to shoot you down. We also discuss the importance of stress management and foundational elements like hydration, eating properly, resting, meditation, and exercise to help reduce anxiety and how to implement those habits into our daily and professional lives. Finally, we talk about how being present and reading the other person can improve communication and how little things can make a big difference. You’ll discover: ✔️Why speaking up and not speaking up can both create stress ✔️4 essential steps to manage your stress and tips to get started   Jackie de Crinis Bio  Jackie de Crinis is a stress management coach who teaches people how to manage their stress so that they can be more productive in their careers and happier in their lives. Prior to becoming a life coach, Jackie spent 30 years in the television industry working as an executive for NBCUniversal, ABC, 20th Century Fox, and Sony television. During her tenure as a creative executive, she was credited with developing and overseeing dozens of Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning series. But in spite of her successful TV career, she often felt like she was running on adrenaline and surviving her life rather than enjoying it. This is what lead her to a lifestyle overhaul which included moving from LA to Maui and starting her second career as a life coach. Her intention is now to help other professional people learn how to manage their stress and avoid burnout. She, also, hosts the podcast "The OverThinker's Guide To Joy" for people who tend to OverThink, OverAnalyze, OverWorry, and OverEverything. Each week she provides tips, tricks and hacks on ways to reduce stress and manage our OverThinking brains. Jackie has three grown daughters, and lives on Maui with her husband and her dog. In her spare time, she plays tennis and pickleball, practices yoga and meditation, and loves board games.   Jackie de Crinis Contact Information: Website:          https://jackiedecrinis.com Podcast:          https://jackiedecrinis.com/podcast/ IG:                   https://www.instagram.com/jackiedecrinis/ FB:                  https://www.facebook.com/jackiedecrinislifecoach LinkedIn:        linkedin.com/in/jackie-de-crinis-7252211     Other Episodes You’ll Like: How To Cope With Stress At Work (Compilation): https://speakyourmindnow.libsyn.com/how-to-cope-with-stress-at-work-compilation Why Being Assertive Reduces Your Stress At Work: https://speakyourmindnow.libsyn.com/why-being-assertive-reduces-your-stress-at-work 6 Conflict Myths: Lies Teachers Like To Tell About Confrontation: https://speakyourmindnow.libsyn.com/029-6-conflict-myths-lies-teachers-like-to-tell-about-confrontation   Free Resources: Ask me your question for the next episode here: https://www.speakpipe.com/speakyourmindquestion Sign up for 10 Day free Assertive And Liked Challenge: https://assertiveway.aweb.page/beassertiveandliked Free resources: https://assertiveway.com/free/ Assertiveness free training: https://assertiveway.aweb.page/getahead Assertive Communication Newsletter: https://assertiveway.com/newsletter   Talk or Workshop on Speaking Up With Assertive Communication Podcast page: https://assertiveway.com/podcast-speak-your-mind-unapologetically/ Contact me [email protected] Or via Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivna-curi-mba-67083b2/   About Assertive Way: Website: https://assertiveway.com Rate the podcast on apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-your-mind-unapologetically-podcast/id1623647915     #SpeakUp #CommunicationSkills #AnxietyReduction #AssertiveCommunication #NegotiationSkills #Leadership #SelfCare #StressManagement #HealthyHabits #EffectiveCommunication #RelationshipBuilding #Empathy #Influence #MentalHealth #TimeManagement

This is a quick episode about what this show is about. One man changed my life. I was a young, introverted, people pleasing but studious, hardworking and collaborative person when I got my very first manager role. My team revolted, I got pushbacks, and I was scared to speak up and couldn't get anything done. My boss, Mario, never protected me or spoke up for me. But what Mario did changed my life forever in ways he would never know. He taught me how to speak up for myself respectfully and effectively without creating enemies. Soon, everyone collaborated and loved me. And more importantly we got things done and I gained confidence in myself. The SPEAK YOUR MIND UNAPOLOGETICALLY podcast teaches everything I learned from Mario and more with tips, strategies, and interviews. It's the only show on speaking up at work without making enemies. This show is for professionals who want to safely speak their minds at work.

Have you ever written an email or letter to someone who you were frustrated with? It’s tempting to send a scathing message to someone to prove them wrong or to express how miserable they made your life, because it feels really good to express yourself. However, when the main goal of a letter or email is to vent off frustration and to prove yourself right to the other person, then that is an angry letter or email. Angry messages are not assertive. They don’t address problems, they don’t improve the relationships, they don’t change other people’s behaviors, and they won’t make you feel better. They also cause more friction and don’t get others to empathize with your situation.   A Chinese proverb says “Never write a letter while you are angry” especially if you don’t want to have regrets later. Angry letters are great if written and left unsent. They help you better cope with frustration, name your negative emotions, and release them. Here are 8 questions to help you identify if you wrote an angry letter that will make the problem worse. And 4 things to avoid saying when you are angry at someone. Get the full episode notes here.

Are most of your compliments a “great job” or “well done?” Those are shortcut compliments, the least effective form of positive feedback. They are vague and don’t provide any insight as to what you liked and why you liked it. They are also ineffective to change behavior because the compliment receivers will not know what behavior led to the compliment. Limitation 1 – Did you know that many people don’t believe or agree with the compliments they receive? If they don’t believe in your compliment, they will distrust you more instead of feeling more connected and motivated. Limitation 2 – The second limitation of “good job” is that it doesn’t work when complimenting more senior people like your boss or mentor. “Good job” and “well done” inherently imply that you are judging the other person’s actions. Limitation 3 – The third limitation of “good job” is that it limits your ability to share positive feedback, which is important for nurturing positive relationships. It has a very narrow scope and is usually used for people who excelled or won something, which means it excludes most people from getting a compliment. Here are 5 better ways to say “good job” or “well done” that work for anyone. These compliments are more thoughtful, effective, and impactful. You can also include more than one in a single compliment for even more impact. Get the full episode notes here.

Do you know the difference between introvert, shyness, passive behavior, and social anxiety? Many people confuse those terms and use them interchangeably. It took me a long to understand the difference. It is useful to understand what each one means so that you can focus on what you need the most. Introversion is about your energy. Shyness is fear of people’s judgement. Social anxiety is extreme shy. Passive is not speaking up for what you need, want, and believe. Overcoming social anxiety is liberating, overcoming shyness is joyful; overcoming passivity gives you control. You can be mellow, soft-spoken, and assertive like the Dalai Lama. Shy leaders may struggle to get buy In, inspire confidence in others, and protect their people. Introverted leaders can be exceptional like Warren Buffet, Albert Einstein, Gandhi, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Rosa Parks. Passive leaders may struggle to protect others, give constructive feedback, maintain team morale, secure resources, earn respect, and get buy in. If people describe you as nice, people-pleaser, obedient, doormat, hesitant, shy, selfless, submissive, then you may act passively.

The top reason people shy away from speaking up and expressing their needs, boundaries, desires, true thoughts, and feelings are their fears of speaking up. This happens especially with those who don’t like to confront others or to engage in conflict because of these fears, that many are very aware of but don’t know how to overcome. Any people pleasers out there? Nice people? When you don’t fully express yourself and speak up for yourself and for your needs over and over again, you end up feeling misunderstood and disrespected. And that leads to you also feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and frustrated. That is why people who don’t speak up feel less connected to other people, are taken advantage of regularly, and waste most of their potential. They work more, get paid less, get less recognition, less appreciation, and still get yelled at more. The top four fears of speaking up are the fear of coming across as rude, offensive, aggressive, or mean; the fear of being disliked; the fear of hurting people’s feelings; and the fear of retaliation or backlash. The good news is that these visceral speaking up fears that feel so real are in reality unjustified. You can speak up and still avoid all the negative things on the other side of those fears. Here the 4 top speaking up fears debunked. 09:42 Fear of coming across as rude, offensive, or aggressive  15:02 Fear of hurting people’s feelings 17:57 Fear of not being liked 22:53 Fear of retaliation and backlash Read the episode show notes on this at https://www.assertiveway.com/34 Get started with this free crash course on how to be assertive without being rude or these other resources here.

Do men not take you seriously at work? Being a woman in a male-dominated workplace is not easy.... Do guys question everything you do? Your credibility? Underestimate your intelligence? Even guys with less experience! Do you feel like you have to constantly prove yourself? Unfortunately, sexism and gender bias is a real thing! And being the only woman in the room or one of the few around makes it more difficult... Here’s what’s important to know... Perceived credibility is not always about your diplomas and experience. People, and men in particular, associate confidence to competence…even if you are clearly competent.

If you are the kind of person that is very nice, or if you want to make sure you don’t hurt other people’s feelings, or if you really want people to like you, chances are you dread conflict and confrontation. Ironically, by avoiding conflict and not bringing up important issues that bother you in a timely manner, you may end up hurting people, being mean, and pushing people away from you. Sooner or later, you’ll feel misunderstood, stressed, and taken for granted. Which means that over time you’ll start to feel resentful and frustrated towards others. And even if you don’t say anything it can come across in your mannerisms, micro expressions, tone, and body language which means you’ll trust people less, assume they’re trying to take advantage of you, and to be more difficult. Not only that, but you’ll also start to have the “poor me” mindset, which most people don’t find pleasant. All of this non-verbal and verbal negativity will come across and push people away from you.

Is fear holding you up from speaking up? One of the biggest challenges people face when trying to speak up comes from inside: it’s their fears. Fear of backlash, fear of being misunderstood, fear of upsetting other people, fear of retaliation, fear of being reported on, fear of not being liked, fear of being labeled difficult, fear of bothering people, worry that you’ll be ignored no matter what, fear of what people might think of you, fear of embarrassment, or ridicule and looking like a fool, of people judging you, thinking you are stupid, or of coming across as rude. The fear shows up as worry that goes to bed with you and keeps you unsettled at night. It can show up as being paranoid about how people think of you. It can show up as rumination about what to say or not to say and overthinking which leads to inaction. I can’t think of a single time I regretted speaking up. And I can think of dozens of times with speaking up radically changed my life for the better. Now the fear was always there for me when I had to speak up for something important. The more important to me, the bigger the fear. How can you speak up even if you feel the fear?   Frustrated that people don't take you seriously? We'll help you. It is time to be heard, be respected, and get recognized. And never be fearful when you speak up again. Visit our website here to speak up without being rude.

We all want to be successful and to have several opportunities to get ahead. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for opportunities to happen for you. But you have to create the ecosystem for opportunities to show up in your life. Here’s how to increase opportunities for yourself in your career and life: Have clarity in your goals. Help others. Show your work and do so with passion. Get out there and be visible. Ask for what you want. Ask for feedback often even if you are scared of criticism. Get more exposure to new opportunities. Network and leverage your network. Be curious. Be assertive. Share your ideas openly even if you don’t think they are great. Sell the vision of your idea to others and especially to senior or powerful people. Address needs in the market. Always keep an eye on your alternatives even if you are happy in your current situation. Share your story, beliefs, values, and messages with the world. Take calculated risks to try something new and prove a concept. Be persistent even when they say no. Embrace challenges and problems as potential opportunities. What do these ways of creating opportunities have in common? They are uncomfortable at times. They push you to proactively take action even if you are scared of looking like a fool and being judged by others. They are rooted in a drive to connect, to express, to expand, to serve, to fulfill a desire, or to pursue a personal vision.

Three of my favorite examples of ordinary women and moms who achieved created and sold phenomenal businesses are housewife Debbi Fields, dancer Brynn Putnan, and tax saleswoman Sara Blakely. There are many reasons why these women were immensely successful. Here are some of the most important reasons:   How this young mom and housewife without any business education created a business grew into 400 stores. Debbi Fields was a young mother with no business education when she decided to open a business to sell freshly baked cookies. As most business owners, she struggled to get a loan, start selling her cookies when she didn’t yet have a reputation, and manage a growing business. Yet, her passion for making the perfect cookie pushed her to ask for things, sell cookies on the streets, ask for daily feedback from customers to improve her cookies, set hourly financial goals, and adopt modern software to better manage quality in a fast-growing international business. Learn more about Mrs. Fields story here.   How this pregnant dancer with no tech or business background founded and sold and sold it for $500 million in 4 years. Brynn Putnan innovated by creating a new product category within fitness: mirror screen gyms. She was a dancer, and then opened up a boutique fitness studio where she taught. After asking her customers for feedback, she learned that they wanted more mirrors. She came up with the idea of installing a screen on a mirror to work out at home. The company was called “Mirror”. She pitched it to investors and got $75 million in venture funding. Many celebrities loved her product and started to post it on social media. Within 4 years of starting the company, she sold it for $500 million to Lululemon. Her idea came from asking for feedback and then focusing on the customer rather than comparison. She says, “I spend very little time comparing to competitors and much more time focused on our members’ needs and how to meet them.” Learn more about Brynn Putnan’s story here.   How this fax machine saleswoman became the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world, while raising 4 children. Sara Blakely used to sell fax machines door-to-door and became a national sales trainer.  She wanted a pantyhose without the feet that didn’t roll up her legs. So, she created one. She created the initial prototype and patented it, and called her company Spanx. She had several challenges, especially explaining the value of her product to men who owned factories to produce the item and who were in charge of procurement for large department store chains to sell her product. Many hung up the phone. When she pitched her product, she received “no” over and over again. However, she was not afraid of failure, because when she was growing up, her father would often ask her what she had failed in that day. She also learned to persist and that a no was a “not yet”. Eventually, she signed contract several large retailers, including Bloomingdales and QVS. She expanded her business while growing her family to have four children. Learn more about Sara Blakely’s story here. Expressing your passion, asking for feedback, persisting in the face of receiving “no”, and thinking in terms of “not yet” can help you create opportunities and advance your dreams.   To learn more about how to confidently and effectively handle hard conversations in an assertive way, visit https://www.assertiveway.com.
