Posting for traffic, have tried 3 other boards! Any managers got any assertiveness tips they would like to share? I'm going back to work following mat leave next week and don't want to be a pushover again. Feel a bit on the back foot having been away Sad thanks for any replies

A friend who is super successful and high-flying once said to me 'make sure you always behave as though you know your own worth'. So if you're a few minutes late for a meeting, or just the last to arrive, never say 'sorry I'm late', instead say 'thank you for waiting for me'. I thought that was brilliant and use it all the time now. It's not rude, it just says 'I don't need to be sorry and my time and experience is worth you waiting for'.
