Assertiveness. That is the key to communicating. Being assertive means finding the right balance between passivity (not assertive enough) and aggression (angry or hostile behavior). It means having a strong sense of yourself and your core values and acknowledging that you deserve to get what you want.

Learning how to become assertive is just like learning any other skill. All you need are the right tools and some practice time, and you can become assertive. We’ll cover all that you need to know within this book, and then some, so you will be well on your way to learning how to speak up for yourself in a respectful manner. When you do, you will immediately notice how others treat you differently.

Using practical exercises and techniques, we will explore how to stand up for what you believe in, ask for what you want, and say "No" to what you don’t want in a way that’s confident, calm, and respectful. This book will also show you how to increase your self-confidence and self-worth.
