Your plan

Self-advocacy at Rise & Co. Homeware

Saying what you need, want, don't understand or won't do — and choosing how.

Not the same as: Only complaining about unfair treatment. Asking for something to do is self-advocacy too.

Workdays to walk through

  1. Workday 01 · The Return

    Saturday · 11:40 AM

    A customer wants to return something the policy doesn't cover, in front of a line of other customers, and Denise isn't answering her phone.

    Where self-advocacy shows up: An unusual return raises the question of when to ask a manager for guidance.

  2. Workday 02 · An Ordinary Tuesday

    Tuesday · 8:55 AM

    Restocking, a schedule change texted at 9pm last night, and Aaliyah's section looking untouched again. Nothing here is a crisis. It still adds up.

  3. Workday 03 · Teaching What You Weren't Taught

    Thursday · 1:10 PM

    Denise wants you to train Toby on damaged-stock write-offs. You've done it exactly once, badly, and nobody ever checked your work.

Practice steps

These get harder as you go. Tick the ones you have actually done at work — nobody is grading this.
