21. Assertiveness - The Power of Bringing True Authority to Work and Parenting - Episode 21

Parents At Work Podcast

Do you feel like you're hiding behind a submissive or aggressive personality – even if it’s ever so slightly? Is it possible to be honest and forthright without retracting or being overbearing. What’s the harm if we don’t and what comes to life when we do? True expression isn’t tarnished with personality behaviours that have held us back from bringing all of our – quite natural - powerful selves. True power isn’t forceful, nor is it passive or dismissive. True expression and power bring a quality that holds the other equal. It also allows relationships and projects to unfold with greater wisdom and integrity as their foundation. This month Katie and Sam explore what’s getting in the way of living with more true authority as well as how we can start to embrace this more in our every day – both as a parent and in the workplace.
