This is a quick episode about what this show is about. One man changed my life. I was a young, introverted, people pleasing but studious, hardworking and collaborative person when I got my very first manager role. My team revolted, I got pushbacks, and I was scared to speak up and couldn't get anything done. My boss, Mario, never protected me or spoke up for me. But what Mario did changed my life forever in ways he would never know. He taught me how to speak up for myself respectfully and effectively without creating enemies. Soon, everyone collaborated and loved me. And more importantly we got things done and I gained confidence in myself. The SPEAK YOUR MIND UNAPOLOGETICALLY podcast teaches everything I learned from Mario and more with tips, strategies, and interviews. It's the only show on speaking up at work without making enemies. This show is for professionals who want to safely speak their minds at work. This podcast will show you how to confidently speak up without coming across aggressive or rude and without retaliation or backlash. You'll learn to speak up authentically without hurting other people's feelings or creating enemies and become both assertive and likable. You'll outsmart biases and overcome resistance while becoming more influential and persuasive in your communication. You'll get practical tips, strategies, and examples of how to be direct, assertive, and non-offensive at work with both me and people I interview including successful professionals who show their path, failures, and successes, and communication experts.

How do you know when you should speak up assertively? Sometimes we don't speak up because we don't want to rock the boat. We rationalize why it's ok and we are too sensitive or reactive. We might think that's it's not a big deal and that it's not worth making matters worse, or feel guilty and at fault when someone tries to manipulate us. And sometimes we are so used to not speaking up that we don't even notice something is wrong. That's why it's important to have guidelines for when to speak up. In this episode you'll discover: ✔️ 4 triggers that will help you spot when to speak up and be more assertive.
