Food for Thought Thoughts with Dark Cancer Season 2, Episode 40: Assertiveness: How to Handle Demands, Criticism & Compliments
Knowing how to be assertive is one thing, but how do you apply it in the toughest situations? In this essential follow-up episode, Dark Cancer provides a practical guide to using assertiveness in three of the most challenging interpersonal scenarios you will ever face.
This is your masterclass in staying calm, positive, and in control when dealing with difficult conversations. The host provides clear, actionable strategies for standing up for your rights while still respecting the other person.
This is your guide to mastering assertiveness in practice, covering:
- Dealing with Demands: How to say "no" to unreasonable requests without feeling guilty, and why it's crucial to reject the demand, not the person.
- Handling Criticism: A step-by-step guide to receiving negative feedback gracefully and how to give constructive criticism without causing offense.
- Giving & Receiving Compliments: Why this can be so difficult for people and how to accept praise without feeling embarrassed or dismissive.
