Joanna creates a spotlight called ‘Assertiveness’.

She’s clear on the mission – to be more confident in speaking up in meetings. She puts a timescale of three months to start off.

• Open up the Spotlight tab and click + to begin.
• Start typing  or find inspiration from popular Spotlights.
• Remember, Spotlights can be reviewed over time. So don’t overthink it.

Inside her Spotlight, Joanna looks for a little help on what being assertive is all about. So she explores the recommended Elements.

As well as Assertiveness, WiseAmigo offers Joanna two related elements, Communicating and Building Relationships. In seconds, she has an idea of what good looks like.

• Once inside your Spotlight, Elements can be found on your overview screen.

So now it’s time for Joanna to take action! Unsure of where to start, she browses the Action inspiration list. She finds some ideal actions and objectives to get her teeth into.

By speaking and asserting herself earlier in meetings, Joanna can start contributing faster. And feel more confident. With a specific project meeting in a couple of days, she adds the date and gives it a high priority, before saving it to her list.
