If inexperience is holding you back, approach someone whose work you admire and ask him/her to mentor you. Approach your manager about taking on increased responsibilities. Mentor someone else, and you’ll find it’s also good for you. Manage interruptions and learn to say “no” where appropriate. Feeling underutilized?

In fact, the most effective assertiveness happens calmly, factually, and directly. Send a note to a manager about their direct report. I wish that you find a mentor. This includes workplace bullying and discrimination and career progression, to name just three. Speaking up does not have to be loud or nasty or aggressive.
