Let’s work together to transform your communication.
Being assertive without being aggressive is a fine balance, especially when you’re in a leadership role. We aren’t taught how to be assertive as young girls; instead we’re socialized to “be polite” and take care of everyone’s needs around us. Learning how to express ourselves as adults and leaders takes practice and a growth mindset.
Does this sound like you?

“I’ve spent most of my life anxious about conversations that never happen. I’m ready to step into my role as a leader and speak with clarity and confidence.”

Are you ready to own your voice?
Hey there, I’m Zoe Rapoport, Ph.D. I want to help you own your voice and communicate with confidence.
I've been a women's health psychologist for over 10 years and a business owner for over 5 years. I've had to learn new ways of communicating with clients, staff, colleagues, family, and friends. I've been "too passive", "too aggressive", and just right. I've learned that the best way to communicate with others involves knowing them as well as yourself and keeping it clear and simple.
It can be hard to know how to handle conversations you’ve been avoiding. It’s time to unlearn patterns of interaction that haven’t been working. I’m here to help
“If we don’t say yes authentically, we say yes resentfully, and that’s leads to far more problems than if we’d said no in the first place”
