What are Speak Up Skills?

Assertiveness isn’t about being pushy or rude.
It’s having the confidence to say what you feel and need — clearly, calmly, and without apologizing for existing.

Assertiveness means you can:

  • Express your boundaries without guilt
  • Let “no” be a full sentence
  • Disagree without fearing rejection
  • Trust your perspective, even if someone doesn’t like it
