To me, assertiveness is...
by Steve
So I thought I'd get things going here by looking at what I think assertiveness is all about. And whilst assertiveness is all of the following words... absolute, assured, certain, confident, decided, decisive, emphatic, firm, positive, self-assured, self-confident, strong-willed, sure (at least according to thesaurus.com anyway lol) it's more than that, I think. I think Gloria Hamilten summed it up in her article, actually when she said that it was nothing more than interacting with others in a direct, honest and respectful manner. So it certainly isn't about winning at all costs, or always getting your way! In fact, I think if you are self-aware and act out of love rather than fear then you'll pretty much be acting assertively. Well, that's what I think. How about you? Oh, I think that inspirational If poem, by Rudyard Kipling, does a good job of describing assertiveness too (as well as many other great character attributes).
