7) Being confident and assertive

Practicing being more assertive can often improve confidence in your communication.
What does being assertive mean to you?

  • Having belief in your own rights
  • Listening to others
  • Having confidence in expressing your own opinions, thoughts and feelings

Sometimes it’s easy to forget we have the right to express ourselves. Creating your own Bill of Rights will help you do this.
