Sesini Bulmak: Sessizlikten Kendini İfade Etmeye | Dr. Antje Bothin | TEDxHSRW

Assertive iletişim koçu ve İskoçya merkezli yazar Dr. Antje Bothin, sesini geri kazanmanın kişisel dönüşüm, mesleki gelişim ve daha güçlü ilişkiler için bir itici güç olduğunu anlatıyor. Seçici konuşmazlık yaşayan, neredeyse hiç konuşmayan bir çocukluktan sakin ve özgüvenli bir lidere, şaire ve sanatçıya uzanan kendi yolculuğunu paylaşıyor. Konuşmasının merkezinde, asertifliğin yüksek sesle konuşmak değil, öz saygıyı eyleme dökmek olduğu fikri yer alıyor. Konuşma, yerel bir topluluk tarafından bağımsız olarak düzenlenen bir TEDx etkinliğinde sunuldu.

• Sesini geri kazanmanın kişisel ve mesleki gelişim yolu olması
• Seçici konuşmazlıktan sakin özgüvene uzanan kişisel yolculuk
• Asertifliğin yüksek sesle değil, öz saygıyla ilgili olması
