People Are Drawn to You

People Are Drawn to You In your work life and in your relationships and friendships, you'll notice people are just drawn to you when you're more assertive. Everyone loves a strong, confident woman!

It Reduces Stress

It Reduces Stress This may sound counter-intuitive, but it's so true: when you're a bit bossy, you'll cope with stress like it's nothing. It's likely because you've learned to say "no" so you're managing your time better, but it may also be because you just DGAF what people think of you.
