Have you ever said yes to something you really wanted to say no to? Have you ever kept quiet when you should have spoken up? Do you want to discover ways to stand up for yourself, confidently assert opinions, and get more of what you want?

I’d bet that you said “YES!” to one or all of those questions! All of the situations mentioned above require self-advocacy, the ability to advocate successfully for your own wants and needs. Self-advocacy is an essential skill in work and life. You are the one person best suited to look out for your own interests. The more you can speak up for yourself, using your voice to communicate confidently and assertively with others, the better conditions you will create to achieve your goals.

So we all need to self-advocate. But how do we get there? In this course, you’ll:

Define self-advocacy and its value in the workplace

Create a self-advocacy goal to focus on what you want to achieve

Determine and reflect on your personal communication style

Differentiate between passive, aggressive, and assertive communication

Discover The GROW Model, a framework to help you set and achieve goals

Recognize self-advocacy bad habits that may be holding you back

Identify strategies to communicate more assertively

Establish when and how to say no

Identify how to find a sponsor

I built this course with plenty of activities so you can put what you’re learning into practice. You’ll spend some time reflecting on who you are, figuring out what you want, and creating a plan to make it happen. By the end of this course, you’ll have a toolkit of assertive strategies to effectively advocate for yourself.

In my career, I’ve seen firsthand how important self-advocacy can be. You can’t simply wait for things to happen – you need to make them happen by expressing yourself and standing up for what you want. Depending on where you’re starting on your self-advocacy journey, this may seem daunting. And that’s ok! But as your instructor, I’m here to tell you IT IS possible. You CAN be your own champion.
