Develop Your Communication Skills. There are all kinds of people in the world, and some will walk all over you. If you dont learn about speaking up for yourself. Here are some steps to doing just that. 1. Develop a system of beliefs that give you the strength to assert yourself:- If you dont have an opinion, if you do not believe in anything, then how can you speak with any degree of conviction and confidence? 2. Dont allow people to interrupt you:- Do not stand for interruptions. Dont become highly defensive or snippy; you can just say something like, Excuse me, I was speaking. Do you mind if I finish my sentence?. 3. Cut down on behaviours which limit your ability to Speak:- There are some body language actions that people use naturally but which dont help you to speak up for yourself. Find out those actions, reduce them, and then speak. 4. Speak clearly and to the point:- When speaking up for yourself you need to speak clearly. Speaking clearly sends the message about how confident you are in getting what you want. 5. Slow down:- Some people talk rapidly when they are speaking up for themselves. This sends out the message that you are nervous and not confident about what you are speaking up for.
