Finding your voice isn’t always easy, especially when you’re still figuring out who you are in school, at work, or early in your career. In this episode of The Psych Leadership Podcast, we explore how to speak up for yourself without feeling rude, awkward, or “too much.”
Using insights from Assertiveness Theory, we’ll unpack the psychology behind confident communication, what it means to balance respect for others with respect for yourself. You’ll learn practical strategies for advocating for your needs, setting boundaries, and expressing ideas clearly, whether in the classroom, group projects, or the workplace.
If you’ve ever struggled to ask for what you deserve or feared being labeled “pushy,” this episode will help you reframe assertiveness as a strength, not a flaw.
