How to sound assertive.

without sounding rude.

How's that for skipping through an intro?

I find that assertiveness is one of the top things that I get asked.

It's a spectrum.

You have aggression on one side, and I would say you have passive on the other.

Aggression says, I don't respect you.

Passive says, I don't respect myself.

Assertiveness is somewhere in between where I can say, I can respect you and at the same time, I can also respect myself.

I'm going to assertively get through this podcast episode with you.

You ready?
