An assertive person listens to the needs of others to work a balance between respecting those needs and standing up for one s own needs. The ability to listen, whether you are the boss, employee, coworker or just a customer, allows you to look beyond your own needs. And when you are ready to stand up for your needs, this is where effective communication-the ability to say what you need or want without raising your voice, being angry or getting into conflict with those around you, comes into the picture.
Assertive people live to fulfill their needs and defend their rights, and who wouldn t want that? So here you are, taking the first steps to becoming assertive. You might have asserted your needs in a few situations before but then you ve also experienced those situations when it was easier to just allow someone to push you back, again. Assertiveness is not a button you can push on and then back off again whenever you please. You have to commit to it and practice until you are confident with your ability to stand up for yourself.
