“What affects you is what happens to you.”
An inappropriate comment during a meeting. A coworker who constantly crosses boundaries. A manager whose tone of voice brooks no dissent. We often remain silent to avoid conflict. But what happens if we keep giving in? If you don’t know and defend your own boundaries, you hand over control to others. It doesn’t always require the perfect answer—what matters most is a strong sense of self.
“Good communication begins where quick wit ends.”
Bestselling author and communication coach Nicole Staudinger knows how important it is to stand up for yourself. Her experience with breast cancer gave her a new perspective on courage, self-confidence, and the value of one’s own life. In a conversation with Georgiy Michailov, she explains why quick wit alone doesn’t resolve conflicts, how we can speak our minds constructively, and why true strength also means accepting criticism. The two also discuss toxic communication, appreciation in the workplace, and dealing with power.
