Hello friends, Being assertive is one thing I have been working on for some time but it is taking way more time than I ever thought it would. In my personal life, with friends and relatives, I am able to be assertive: to stand for my rights, to utter clearly what I think and to say the truth even when it hurts. But when it comes to my professional life, especially with 'dictator' bosses around, I tend to be less assertive. It is not that I am not assertive at all. I am but in many situations, I tend to be soft and I accept the instructions given to me, even when deep down I am not entirely in agreement with those instructions. I have been watching several videos on how to improve and to be more assertive. I am trying to improve myself. MyLotters, how can I be more assertive? Please guide me.
