Chapter 3 = Positive Thinking
Assertiveness training has been around for a good many years now and has had a chequered press, some seeing it as training in how to get your own way - which it isn't; or how to become as aggressive as the next person - which it also isn't.
Assertiveness training can be of immense benefit as a means of self-development.People with good assertiveness skills will also have enhanced self-awareness,greater confidence and self-esteem, and honest, powerful and effective communication skills.They will have respect for themselves and for others. Central to all this is positive thinking. Assertive people have a positive self-image;they will use positive language;they will look for positive outcomes to interactions; they will work with the other person to provide positive solutions to problems by which both sides 'win'; they will be positive in their respect for the other person's views and opinion's, whether or not they share these vievs.
