Communicate assertively to be heard, get along better with your peers, lead more effectively and influence others.
Assertiveness can be defined as communication whereby one expresses oneself in a direct and honest manner in interpersonal situations, whist simultaneously respecting the rights and dignity of those they are communicating with.
Assertiveness techniques training is based on the principle that we all have a right to express our thoughts, feelings, and needs to others, as long as we always do so in a respectful way. When we don’t feel like we can express ourselves openly and honestly, we may become anxious, depressed, or angry, and our sense of self-worth may suffer.
Our relationships with other people may also suffer because we may become resentful when they don’t read our minds for what we are not assertive enough to be telling and/or asking them.
Resist those who seek to dominate, manoeuvre and manipulate you by being calm, frank, clear and straight forward when communicating with others.
Assertiveness can be used to persuade or influence other people without having to resort to passive or bullying behaviours.
Assertive people are seen as decisive, in control, confident and respected. Assertive people generally feel less stress by being confident in their communications with others.
