Communication style is critical
When it comes to being assertive, communication style is
critical, and the key is to be respectful of those with whom you are trying to
communicate. Pay attention to your body language as well as the words you say,
and make sure you're congruent in your words, body language, and tone. Never
expect people to read your mind; if you want something, say so, and if
something bothers you, speak up. Look confident when making a request or
stating a preference. Stand up straight, lean in a bit, smile or keep a neutral
facial expression, and look the person in the eye.
