    You are missing the important part of this sentence and it's meaning. "I" is the essence of being assertive, listen to other but prioritise "yourself". Good luck

    1) advocate for others 2) perspective taking (what do others really want?) 3) give more options (signal flexibility) 4) earn allies by advocating for others and asking others for advice (even for self promotion with our accomplishments) 5) show your expertise by showing your passion

    My personal notes. Loved the vid. Speaking Up = Power * Pushing your own interests. * Expressing an opinion. * Making an ambitious ask. Power is the range of things that you can get away with without being punished. It is very dynamic and can vary on the situation. For example: In a negotiation, who has more options? Who is willing to say no? In a debate, who has more allies? Relationships, who is more invested in the other person? Why is your range able to change? 1. When you seem powerful in your own eyes. You increase your own range. 2. When you seem powerful in the eyes of others. Other people grant you range. How to increase your range. 1. Advocate for others. Nobody will reject you for talking well about another person. Gain allies. If you do it too much it seems like you're sucking up. 2. Perspective taking. Think about what the other person wants and how you can link that to what you want. 3. Ask for advice. Make others interested about your journey. It increases your allies. 4. Give people options. Always 2. 5. Have excellent evidence. Dude, in that group, you're nobody. You have no credibility to say things without evidence. Have excellent evidence and build credibility. 6. Show passion. Passion is respectable. If you say something and it comes off as passionate, it's more likely to be received in a respectful manner. What NOT to do 1. Talk bad about others and never advocate. 2. Only thinking about yourself 3. Never asking for advice and think that you know it ALL. 4. Always say that there is ONE way to do things. Giving people only one option. 5. Saying things without evidence. 6. Being uninteresting and non-passionate.

    Such a powerful speech. I'm touched. Up to my early thirties, I would speak up, I was so faithful to my believes, but I was then punished, other people would revenge and make scenarios behind my back, and I was given the worst things. Then I decided to change and please people. I started to not speak up, to avoid conflicts, etc. It's been like this for some years now and I don't like it at all. I want to change it again and go back to where I was and even more assertive. When we speak up, we are brave and although people seem to dislike you, they actually admire you more for holding to your values. Now I'd rather be disliked but be myself, rather than be liked but lose myself. 💖❤

    I'd loved most of this. However, one thing I have learnt is the "advice" advice can be unhelpful if the more powerful person is useless at explanation. It actually helped me to drop certain people off their pedestal because while charismatic they were poorly read or mentally lazy. It did make me feel less low.

    Keeping quiet is not necessarily being assertive, but it can be in some cases. Being assertive is about communicating while going after what you want and deserve. Both silence and being assertive are in the realm of free will. And sometimes being assertive is more kind and peaceful than remaining silent through faith alone.

    He just said the counteroffer was OK, and I believe him; the problem was the mere existence of a counteroffer, not what it contained. High power players often think if they make an offer it's a grace to the other person, they get mad even if you dare to refuse, not to mention bargaining. It's because they do not deem you an equal, like that peasants should not make counteroffers to nobles.

    The whole reason I watch Ted Talks is to learn and listen for advice from people from all walks of life.... Finding allies every now and then is a heartwarming delight.... How can one know what their perspective is when it's unclear who "they" are? Wouldn't it be wise to know what their agenda is first? I can only second guess, and for all I know, I'm dealing with the devil himself. Why would I want to cooperate and play games with evil? And the only reason I say evil, is because of the sadistic nature of their games. This love/hate approach and double speak is not helping either, perhaps intentionally so. Damn if you do, damn if you don't.......I don't know what they want, what I'm suppose to do, who I'm suppose to be, and the best part is, somehow this is all my fault? I need serenity nowwwww....... I should take up and learn Buddhism coz they seem to be more tolerant and even encourages people to seek truth based on their own path and life experience. Namaste 🙏

    Very interesting talk, but it made me wonder, especially considering the mama bear effect, his advice is basically that for women to overcome these stereotypes in negotiations, they have to consider the position of the other, but doesn't that confirm and reaffirm the stereotypical idea for women that they should always care for and look after others? And doesn't that already cause women to become subassertive and make more concessions during negotiations most of the time?

    I agree this works but it's VERY important to remember it doesn't work with everyone or in all situations. I've used this technique in numerous job interviews. If your audience has an ism, all the negotiation tactics in the world aren't going to win them over.
