The Ministry of Self podcast returns for a second series with Mike and Jen tackling issues of relationships in work and life as they deepen their exploration of self-development and emotional intelligence. This second series builds on the key concepts discussed in series one.
In this episode they discuss how to have assertive conversations about important things.
The term 'assertive' often conjures up a perception that a tough conversation is about to happen. This isn't always true. Assertive conversations can be controlled and respectful if we use the right language and approach.
Feeling assertive in a controlled way ensures that we remain focused on the true objective of the conversation. In this way, 'assertive' does not mean argument. Rather, we have professional interactions designed to achieve agreement between the parties involved.
Jen and Mike discuss ways to achieve this without compromising relationships.
Ministry of Self is a podcast where strategist Jennifer Cromarty and emotional intelligence practitioner Mike Martin talk about the importance of understanding the self, how others influence who you are and why our emotions drive everything.
"We believe that it is for all of us to think about who we really are or what we can become if we are emotionally strong and fulfilled. The gifts accorded us such as creativity, skills, beliefs, and strength are all much more enhanced when linked to our healthy emotions," Mike & Jen
