Say what you mean, mean what you say!
Assertive communication is a much more effective way to react or respond. A simple rule is that aggressive communication is saying "You." For example, "You are lazy," "You are not responsible," etc. You're pointing the finger. Assertiveness, on the other hand, focuses more on "I."
In today's business world, especially with the onset of social media and reduced face-to-face interaction, it's hugely important to use every opportunity for enhanced communications.
Being open, honest, authentic and assertive ensures that every interaction with your colleagues, employees, team members, etc. builds trust and meaningful conversation.

Consumers want to trust their data is in good hands!

In a new cookie-free world, it’ll be out of the question for companies to store data and apply personal recognition the way they have been...

This speaks to an important pain point that’s holding back 91 percent of companies. As Van der Wijk explains, “Unlike tech-driven companies like Boldking and Google, most businesses still operate with an outdated governance model. The problem: too many departments that completely ignore each other and leaders who maintain that way of working. As a slow mastodon, you lose out to companies that can adapt and transform quickly, and can therefore anticipate consumers’ needs and cater to them perfectly.”

The majority of companies are not fully prepared for a cookie-free world. Learn how you can prepare and embed transparency in your company.
