INSPIRE #993: HOW TO TELL IF YOU’RE TOO NICE & INSTEAD FIND YOUR VOICE!!! (Dr. Aziz Gazipura, “Not Nice”)

SHOW INTRODUCTION:

If you’ve ever wanted to stop feeling like a doormat and getting walked all over, then do we have the Not Nice show for you.

Today I’ll be talking with Aziz Gazipura, social anxiety and confidence coach, the best-selling author of “Extraordinary confidence“, and the author of a brilliant page-burner on becoming the anti-doormat, “Not Nice“.

And that’s just what I want to talk with him about today, how to tell if you’re too nice, and how to stop people pleasing, staying silent, and feeling guilty, and instead start speaking up, saying no, and unapologetically being yourself.
