Assertiveness
Webmaster December 13th, 2007
Being assertive means responding confidently, yet positively.
Assertiveness means respecting yourself and being able to express your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, needs and preferences.
In a manner that is neither threatening nor punishing to others. It respects the needs, feelings and rights of others.
And acting without undue fear or anxiety but with respect.
It is characterised by direct and honest communication between consenting adults.
