Problem: Article: An important part of being more assertive at work is appearing (and being) confident in what you have to say. One powerful way of conveying this is simply making your voice heard in situations where your opinion or perspective might be valuable. Don't wait to be called on, but instead, make your views known.  This does not, however, mean your voice always needs to be heard first. Sometimes, it's a better idea to let someone else speak first, and find a way to piggyback your own ideas on top of theirs. This can increase the likelihood of your ideas being approved.  For example, it might be a good idea in a meeting to wait for two or three people to speak, then put forward your own ideas, saying something like, "My idea, which works well with Janet's idea, is.... If you are asked to do something that is not part of your job description, or which you don't have time for because of other projects, you should feel comfortable saying "no" to your coworkers. This doesn't make you selfish. Being assertive doesn't mean you always get your way, and it doesn't mean silencing other people.  The goal of assertiveness is to be confident and persuasive, but not to be demanding, rude, or controlling of others.  Practice empathy. Pay attention to the attitudes of those around you and give them a chance to share their views as well.  Being respectful of other people's opinions will create a more positive environment in which everyone can feel more comfortable sharing their ideas. Not only does this create a more harmonious workplace, it will allow you to feel more comfortable speaking your mind without fear of judgment or undue criticism.  Being aggressive can actually undercut your ability to make your ideas heard, as your co-workers may be put off or distracted by aggressive mannerisms. A professional relationship is different from a social one. In the workplace, being respected as an authoritative and valuable member of the staff is more important than being well-liked by your fellow employees.  This is especially true if you are in working in a leadership capacity. Providing those who you are supervising with honest, constructive feedback on their work may not be pleasing to everyone, but is the path to an efficient, effective staff.  Sometimes expressing your honest opinions or assessments won't endear you to your coworkers, but this should be a secondary concern in a professional setting.
Summary: Speak up. Say no. Don't be aggressive. Aim for respect, not friends.

Problem: Article: Your t-shirt should be one that you are alright with not wearing again. This will be the material that you make your mask out of. Lay your head as flat as possible against a piece of large paper and have your friend trace the shape of your head with a pen or pencil. You do not need to trace the details of your head, just the general round shape of your head and your neck.  If you do not have someone to help you trace your head with, measure the length of your head from the top of your head to your collar bones. Also measure the back of your head to the tip of your nose. Using a pen or a pencil, draw a profile of your head facing the right. It should look like a large, thick ‘P’. Using a pencil or fabric pen, trace the silhouette onto the t-shirt. You should place the silhouette against a sewn side of the t-shirt (like under the armpit of one of the shirt arms). Make sure that you are cutting both the front and the back of the t-shirt. Make sure you do not sew the straight bottom part of the mask as that is where your neck will come out of. Cut a triangle of the fabric out so that both of your eyes and a small portion of the top of your nose will be visible when you put the mask on. The triangle cut should be made at the front of the ‘P’ shape.
Summary: Pick out a large t-shirt (preferably in black or dark blue) and turn it inside out. Get a friend to trace your head silhouette. Cut the paper silhouette out and place it on the t-shirt. Cut the t-shirt around the silhouette. Sew the sides together once you have cut the mask out of the t-shirt. Hold the newly sewed mask up to your face and mark where your eye hole should go. Turn the mask inside out if you do not want your stitching to show.
