COSERE | 79 • Role-playing and Feedback: With the above in mind, gather some peers and practice active listening through role-playing scenarios, as in the previous subtopic. Receive constructive feedback on nonverbal cues and conceptualize some ways you can integrate this feedback in your future communication. This time, however, try to include some of the elements of assertive communication described thus far.

This is an undeniably intimidating concept, but it is worth it in the long run! • Reflection Journal: Reflect on how assertive communication can enhance your professional relationships.
