'A useful confidence-building tool for those whose key aim is to
find their inner power' Edge Online Being more assertive just got
easier Much has been spoken about the assertive communication
style, not all of it complimentary! Many people confuse it with
being aggressive, bamboozling others into submission and getting
what you want, despite what they want. However, assertive
communication is not domineering; it's just a means of saying what
you mean, meaning what you say and allowing others to do the same.
Taking the decision to adopt assertive behaviour will mark the
beginning of a new way of life: a way of life where you make your
own decisions and choices without feeling guilty, and where you are
in control, not those around you. By working through some simple
steps, and by testing the techniques out in a 'safe' environment,
you will soon become confident in your new-found powers of
assertion. You will be able to command the respect of others,
achieve your personal and professional goals and raise your
self-esteem. The steps to assertive behaviour you will cover in
this book are: - Understand the different styles of communication
and the effect they have. - Identify your own style(s) of
communication. - Know your own worth and the worth of others. - Be
clear about your goals. - Be prepared to learn from your successes
and failures. - Be flexible, and don't expect too much. - Learn to
listen. Each of the seven chapters in Assertiveness In A Week
covers a different aspect of being assertive: - Sunday: Preparing
the foundations - Monday: Creating winning scenarios - Tuesday:
Dealing with the 'negative' - Wednesday: Creating a positive
impression - Thursday: Being assertive in public - Friday: Body
language - Saturday: Personal power
