Listen "Why do we confuse assertiveness with aggression?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore that assertiveness isn't necessarily a natural human state and we discuss this topic from our personal perspectives. In the past, Adrienne experienced expressing a contrary view with someone as conflict. She was unable to see a difference between asking clearly for her needs to be taken into account, and being aggressive. Lucy, on the other hand, has experienced others mistaking her enthusiasm for aggression. We had a really interesting conversation about these differing experiences, and about how remaining calm and mindful has helped us both express our opinions in a way that others can hear.You can find us at:email: [email protected] or website: adriennekirk.ukemail: [email protected] or website: presenceofmind.life Hosted on Acast.
