Here's how you can confidently assert your expertise and knowledge in your field.

It actually only takes one thing to become an assertive person: Stop caring whether you’re going on anyone’s nerves, and get ready to carry the consequences if there are any. I suppose the main thing that requires is courage. Even abandon, if you are a desperate case. I’ve spent the majority of my life pussyfooting around things I perceived to be big issues because some folks made big eyes about them. Until I finally decided I had been nice enough while seeing everyone else take whatever they wanted, and dropped the act.

I believe that the way to enlightenment is from within you. If you believe in this sentence, you can change your outer world as much as you need and accept the difficulties of environmental conditions more easily. The world around us is an image of our thoughts and way of thinking, and by changing our way of thinking and changing our worldview, we can change our circuits and go to another level of awareness and communication.

As soon as I was clear about what I wanted, people began to understand me, and to respect me. Simply because I had given them something to go by. Don’t mistake vagueness for diplomacy, and don’t mistake inquisition by others as aggression - most of them are just asking clearly because they want to understand you.

In a relationship, it is important to take care of your partner's wishes. It means that you give him/her what he/she wants, not what you think is right. Thinking that people can be changed is a wrong idea. In my opinion, we can only inform people and give them the right to choose whether they want to act according to what we told them or not.

1. Make eye-contact—this shows you have no shame and are not being submissive 2. Smile—this shows you are either calm or don’t care, both can be confidence 3.Work out—it’s incredible how physical training can boost your confidence and energy 4.Wear business clothes—it gives you the feeling of being in charge, of being professional, of having power. Like physical fitness, you become more assertive from this simple action 5.Take care of your appearance—going along with clothing, if you know that you look good you won’t second guess your attitude around people 6.Choose your words carefully—I could just as easily say ‘don’t talk,’ but you’ll have to eventually. Until then, silence is your friend in making you appear calm, cool, and collected.

Sharing knowledge and insights in a thoughtful and strategic manner is a key aspect of asserting professional expertise. Hey, look! I'm practising what I preach! This means choosing the appropriate platforms and channels to disseminate your content, and ensuring that what you share holds value and relevance for your audience. By sharing wisely, you not only build your reputation as a professional, but also establish yourself as a thought leader in your domain. Sharing wisely amplifies your voice and aids in the assertion of your expertise.

Usually, two people do not have a common point of view on a phenomenon, and this difference is in the point of view of those people, not in that phenomenon. This means that people see the world based on their own inner state. If you are at peace with yourself, you will probably see the phenomena clearly and beautifully, and if you are not at peace with yourself, it will be exactly the opposite.

1. Speak up at least once in every meeting 2. Use the 1:1 with your boss to talk about your recent successes. 3. Be prepared to share a recent success when you meet with your boss's boss. 4. Continually seek feedback from your manager and peers on your performance AND visibility.

Continuously learning and updating your knowledge is essential in asserting expertise in your field. This can be achieved through staying abreast of the latest developments, attending industry-specific conferences, and engaging in opportunities for professional development. A commitment to ongoing learning serves not only to enhance your authority and credibility, but also highlights your drive for improvement, keeping you at the forefront of your field.
