How You Can Be More Assertive
In this concise instructional video, the speaker presents three actionable strategies to increase personal assertiveness. First, she advises stating one’s next actions aloud using phrases like “I’m going to…,” which creates a sense of control and reinforces assertive behavior. Second, she recommends using authoritative boundary statements such as “I do not accept the way you’re treating me” to assert control over how others interact with you, emphasizing self‑authority rather than dominance over the other person. Third, she encourages adopting the phrase “When I’m ready” to set timing boundaries, reminding listeners that their own needs dictate when they respond or address issues. The speaker provides concrete examples for each technique and ends with an invitation to try them, delivering the content in an encouraging, instructional tone.
