Here's how you can uphold assertiveness and confidence during challenging or high-pressure situations.

Prioritization is indeed the cornerstone of effective time management. I'd like to add that beyond just ranking tasks by urgency and importance, it's also beneficial to regularly review and adjust your priorities as new tasks and information come in. This dynamic approach ensures that you remain agile and responsive to changing circumstances. Additionally, leveraging tools like project management software can help visualize your priorities and deadlines, making it easier to stay on track. Remember, it's not just about working harder but working smarter.Lastly, don't underestimate the power of delegation. If certain tasks can be handled by others, it frees up your time to focus on what truly requires your attention.

Preparação é parte essencial para a boa qualidade de um processo de mentoria! Tanto por parte do mentor quanto do mentorado, é necessário compreender a importancia e beneficios de se preparar para essa reunião de forma intencional e antecipada, o que deve potencializar muito os resultados do processo.

I agree that you always stay calm and know all the possible outcomes. Have knowledge and understanding of what options the other side may have and what logical options they may try to play. Know your limits, and most importantly, don’t be afraid to walk away. However, have perspective on what that means to you and your organization. Walk in and believe that all reasonable parties can reach an agreement that may not 100% please everyone, but it does have a logical solution and outcome. So breathe, relax, stay focused, and don’t display emotion. You got this!

Let’s first consider some myths: 1) Role-playing is old-fashioned. 2) One’s background speaks for itself. 3) Scripting is a waste of time. 4) Sharing accomplishments is self-hype. Therefore…. Be confident to make and offer observations. If the conversation remains positive, dare to make recommendations. If the dialogue is fluid, and you begin to be accepted as an expert in a particular area, then discuss what the potential outcomes might be. If the conversation is truly “give and take”, then ask whether your prescription, if followed, has merit. Still going well? Then..make a proposal.

It is sometimes important to manage our emotions and adjust our priorities. At the same time communicate clearly as much as possible, and practice what you would like to do in such a situation. Also keeping clear mindset (what outcome that you want to achieve) will help in building up self confidence and remain assertive in high pressure situation.

Uma ótima maneira de iniciar esse é exercicio é se perguntar: O que eu busco nesse processo de mentoria? Essa pergunta poderosa pode direcionar muito suas ações durante a mentoria.

Be mindful not to overanalyze yourself. Especially when you reflect on your own confidence or assertiveness, you might be more critical of your behavior than others would be. If you find yourself getting stuck in a loop of destructive thoughts seek advice from someone you trust.

Eu acredito muito no poder transformador e libertador do autoconhecimento, você tem o poder de escolher o que você diz para si mesmo. Ao tomar o controle do seu diálogo interno, você pode construir uma base sólida de confiança que te permitirá alcançar seus sonhos e objetivos.

In challenging or high-pressure situations, the internal dialogue we engage in can be a game-changer. Positive self-talk plays a pivotal role in maintaining and boosting our confidence. By consciously reminding ourselves of our skills, past successes, and inherent strengths, we can counteract the negative thoughts that often creep in during stressful times. One practical approach is to replace these negative thoughts with affirmations. Statements such as "I am capable," "I have successfully navigated similar challenges before," or "I am well-prepared for this" can help reinforce our ability to manage the situation. This simple mental shift can convert anxiety into excitement, paving the way for a positive attitude.

Les mots que l'on utilise pour parler de soi-même sont très importants et peuvent influencer notre perception. C'est pourquoi la répétition d'affirmations positives est un très bon moyen de maintenir l'estime de soi et la confiance en soi.

Le langage corporel est 80% de votre communication. Il se travaille au quotidien dans toutes les circonstances. Avoir une bonne posture travaillera votre charisme.

Your body language is a powerful communicator, often speaking louder than words. To project confidence and assertiveness, stand tall, maintain steady eye contact, and use open gestures. These non-verbal cues not only shape others' perceptions of you but also enhance your own self-perception. Adopting a strong, confident stance can psychologically boost your self-assurance, helping you remain composed and assertive in any situation.

A linguagem corporal, composta por gestos, expressões faciais, postura e até mesmo a maneira como nos movemos no espaço, comunica muito mais do que imaginamos. Ela pode revelar nossas emoções, pensamentos e até mesmo nossas intenções, muitas vezes de forma inconsciente.

In the professional landscape, your appearance and body language work in tandem to project confidence and assertiveness. How you present yourself in terms of hygiene and neatness significantly impacts first impressions and ongoing perceptions. Combining a polished appearance with confident body language amplifies your presence. Standing tall, maintaining eye contact, and using open gestures are more impactful when paired with a well-groomed and neat appearance.

Acho que a primeira coisa quando falamos de gerenciar nossas emoções, é aprender a identificar nossas emoções. Escolha refletir sobre seu sentimento a respeito dos problemas que você quer atacar e compartilhe isso com seu mentor, um bom mentor vai saber te ajudar a como canalizar essas emoções da forma mais eficaz possivel.

My observation, is in pressure time we must take call with out any emotional choice. Sometimes situations getting worst that time we must stick on success or win than any personal or professional choice .

Intelligent emotion is the buzzword when we want to use EI at work place. Just like the old adage which says, think before you leap, at all situations in professional life, we need to think before we speak or act. One of my mentor helped me keep my emotions in check when faced with a challenging situation at work. He advised me to take a break, walk, have a coffee and come back refreshed. This helps me to think the situation from all possible angles and then respond. This simple advice has helped me in my corporate life and i am sure it will help anybody irrespective of personal or professional life.

Managing your emotions is essential for any workplace, and especially in my experience as a creative. There are a ton of personalities in this field. One thing I had to put into perspective is never ever take things personally. If someone sends a low blow or erupts or is just giving off vibes ... Remember to breathe. Some things to possibly think about: where you are in the world, what you're doing, why you are doing it, and what energy do you want to honestly bring into this situation, good, bad or indifferent, and will that make a positive or negative impact on the situation? There's a lot of books and philosophies, and one that I've found that is pretty solid: do you want to be right or happy?

Con el tiempo algo que se aprende y es de gran ayuda es gestionar las emociones. Saber no perder la calma y la actitud no es siempre fácil (muchas veces, de hecho, es la parte más difícil), pero es esencial para gestionar bien las situaciones complejas. Nunca debemos permitir que las emociones nos afecten en la toma de decisiones racionales.

One thing I've found that is helpful in the creative space is practice your skills regularly! Much like an athlete training or a musician practicing a tune or song, practicing your skills are essential to keep your innovative and creative wits about you. Nothing is quite as terrible is saying "yes!" To a client only to spend a majority of the time catching up to deliver. You want to be in a place of taking ideas and translating them quickly into viewable/tangible experiences. By keeping up your skills, this makes the iterative process light, fun and a place of discovery. Also, be a mentor! Mentoring your skills to others not only blesses them with your knowledge and wisdom, it helps you find more efficient ways to do what you're teaching!

Assertiveness and confidence, like any skills, strengthen with practice. Actively seek opportunities to challenge yourself in controlled environments, like role-playing exercises or public speaking groups. Regular exposure to such situations builds resilience and readies you for real-world pressures. With each practice session, you’ll notice your assertiveness and confidence becoming more instinctive and impactful, enhancing your ability to handle diverse scenarios effectively.

Praticar suas habilidades emocionais regularmente é crucial para desenvolvê-las e aprimorá-las com o tempo. Assim como acontece com qualquer outra habilidade, a inteligência emocional requer treino e dedicação para ser dominada.

I stand by the old saying ‘Practice makes perfect’. Visualisation is also a powerful tool. Before facing a challenging situation, visualise yourself handling it with confidence and assertiveness. Also, take the time to work on your body language. Non-verbal cues can significantly influence how others perceive your confidence.

Upholding assertiveness and confidence in challenging or intense situations can be critical for communication and understanding. Reflect: after any significant interaction reflect on what went well and what could be achieved/ improved for future situations. Seeking clarification and feedback helps in reflection and setting boundaries. Approach trusted colleagues or mentors and share your thoughts + reflecting supports replacing negativity thoughts with positive affirmations to boost confidence.

Talking it out with senior colleagues or professionals with similar experiences helps in increasing confidence in handling high pressure situations. Seek help where needed for best outcomes.

Here's what else to consider: The power of "I" statements: Using "I" statements can help communicate your needs assertively without appearing accusatory. Active listening: Demonstrating that you're truly listening to the other person shows respect and fosters a more collaborative environment. Finding common ground: Look for areas of agreement, even in disagreements. This can help bridge the gap and move towards a solution. The importance of saying "no": It's perfectly okay to decline requests that don't align with your priorities or workload. Celebrate your successes: Acknowledge your progress and build on your accomplishments.

I created a practical “hack” many years ago that brings all these components together and provides grounding in advance of a high-stakes situation. Prior to the meeting, visualize the desired outcome and most likely challenges, then imagine and practice a yoga pose that will serve your purpose (eg. mountain if you need to hold your ground, eagle or airplane if you need to see a bigger picture, warrior if you anticipate a direct challenge). This brief meditation and physical movement commits one to enter the exchange with a constructive attitude and grace having integrated all the skills outlined in this article!

Durchsetzungsvermögen und Selbstbewusstsein gehen oft Hand in Hand. Persönlich würde ich folgende Aspekte noch vorschlagen: a) zunächst das eigene Selbstbewusstsein durch Klarheit über die eigene Persönlichkeit und Stärken fördern. Die anderen o.g. Punkte folgen dann. b) Parallel sich über das eigene Ziel im Klaren zu sein. Das schärft den Blick für mögliche Verhandlungs-positionen in herausfordernden Situationen. c) Variationsfähigkeit des eigenen Verhaltens bei unterschiedlichen Akteuren unterstützt die Durchsetzungsfähigkeit ohne verbrannte Erde zu hinterlassen. d) Regelmäßiges Sparring mit vertrauensvollen, externen Personen (neutral, ohne Scheuklappen) ist hilfreich - zum Üben, aber auch um weitere Impulse zu erhalten.

Ask questions that reflect what you think is the solution - and be fully prepared to alter your thinking. Treat everyone in the room the same regardless of their title or position. Assert yourself at the last possible moment to keep the meeting and the conversations on track. Quiet confidence is attractive and screams leadership, in a very soft voice.
