Richfield Professional Women (RPW)

Networking, lunch, presentation

"Assertiveness 101: Eat your soup hot!"
Luisa Gerasimo, Director of Development at Minnesota Life College will use a real life (and funny) example of the ways we mess things up for ourselves and others while trying so hard to be nice. Women often find that assertiveness is a hard concept to really grasp, but after this short interactive “soup” session, you will find it much easier to identify the moments we may slip from assertive to passive or aggressive in daily life. “Minnesota nice” can stay a part of your nature, even as you switch to clearer communication.  Assertiveness can give you a boost in your daily productivity at work and better relationships at home.
