It was four full-days of learning and these assistants were hungry to achieve their certification and WCA Certified designation. Every time I have the honor of teaching, I learn new things as well.

Approach your manager about taking on increased responsibilities. Offer to help coordinate a “lunch and learn” session, or an after-hours network of your peers.

In fact, the most effective assertiveness happens calmly, factually, and directly. Send a note to a manager about their direct report. This may be the perfect time to start playing that instrument, take up a new hobby, learn another language, or write that poem. Speaking up does not have to be loud or nasty or aggressive.
