Assertiveness

Assertiveness is an attribute trained by numerous personal development professionals and psychotherapists and the subject of many popular self-help books. It is connected to self-confidence and measured an important communication skill.

Assertive style of performance is to articulate your own feelings in an honest and respectful way that does not abuse people and to stand up for your rights while you know what you say is not the only valid truth. Being self-assured is to one's advantage most of the time but it does not mean that one always gets what he/she wants. The effect of being assertive is that:

1. You experience good about yourself
2. Other people know how to compact with you and there is nothing unclear about dealing with you.
