Your Safe Space
How To Be More Assertive In Life
Welcome to another episode of Your Safe Space.
In today's show, Adele talks about how to ask for what you want in life! Communication is so important and can shape how our life plays out. Adele covers what a healthy assertive communication style looks like (and doesn't look like), plus the benefits of an assertive communication style and her very own tips to aim for this.
We also cover some listener questions, which include how to say no and ask for what you want from a partner, or from your boss!
Thank you for joining Adele week, we hope you enjoyed episode 14 of the show.
