Assertiveness Skills

In our relationships with others, we all have it in us to behave in ways which are either predominantly aggressive or passive. These tendencies carry with them heavy burdens:

Aggression leads to conflict and revenge by others; passivity leads to low self-esteem and thoughts of “what-might-have-been”. Learning how to be assertive is the route back to whole and healthy relationships. It builds mutual respect between people, seeks win-win outcomes to problems and develops self confidence. It is one of the keys to happy and productive individuals and teams.
