    Cubicle Divas: How to Speak Confidently Without Being Pushy
    (Part 2 of 2)


    By Leesa Barnes

    3. End your statements without raising your voice at the end. Women often have a way of ending a statement as if they’re asking a question. A woman may want to say “I would like you to approve my budget before 5pm today,” but instead, she says “I would like you to approve my budget before 5pm today?” You should be aware if your statements are ending in questions as it removes the power from what you’re trying to say.

    4. Always finish what you’re saying. There are many meetings that I attend where women are cut off in mid-sentence. I’ve had it happen to me many times. A trick I use is when someone tries to cut me off, I continue talking by raising the tone of my voice. This is usually enough for the other person to realize what they’ve done. However, if this doesn’t work, feel free to say “I’m haven't finished my point...” or “Give me a few more seconds to finish my thought.”

    5. Try not to mumble, stammer or fumble your words. Doing so makes you look dishonest or uncomfortable. When you stumble over your words, it usually means that you’re nervous. Try slowing your pace as you talk. This will help you to stop stammering. If you suffer from stuttering, locate a speech specialist who can help you further.

    Follow these tips so you can be more assertive in the way you communicate at work. Soon, you’ll notice that your co-workers are taking you more seriously as a woman and as a respected colleague.
