[00:00:00]How to be more assertive in your conversations. Number one, stop over apologizing. If it's not an actual mistake, don't say sorry. Instead of sorry, I'm late, say thank you for your patience. Instead of sorry to bother you, say I appreciate your time. Because constant apologizing puts you in a weaker position. Number two, stop undervaluing what you say. Don't start with this might be a dumb question.

[00:00:22]You've already lowered your own voice.

[00:00:24]Instead, I want you to step into your confidence and into your voice. So, say let me build on that or let me take that further, then speak. Number three, no is a complete sentence. If something doesn't work for you, say no. You don't need a long explanation. People might not always like it, by the way, but they will respect it. And that is where real confidence starts.
