Develop Your Assertiveness (Creating Success)

£3.89

Learn - Would you benefit in your business or in your social life if you became a better advocate for yourself? Unless you are already quite capable of asserting yourself, the answer is probably yes. The problem is that assertiveness training has a bad reputation, as author Sue Bishop acknowledges. In this short, easy book, she suggests ways that individuals can change their behavior to become more confident. You can learn at your own pace, using the book s self-tests, exercises and comments. Bishop s handbook does not contain very much that is new, but it is a good tool for people who would like to teach themselves the basics. We recommend this book to those who want to find out how to persuade others and stick up for themselves. If you re a manager mired in meekness, here s your ticket to the limelight.

Develop your Assertiveness - As a beginner (and currently attending an assertiveness class) to the art of being assertive I have found this book invaluable and easy to read. It s a basic introduction to the essential techniques of being assertive but it also forces you to probe your own insecurities as to why you are non-assertive in the first place. With simple exercises you can turn your negative thinking into positive, of course time and practice is what is essentially required, but at least you re armed with the knowledge of what to do. For anyone who s fed up with feeling like the proverbial doormat and constantly frustrated with being too passive, this book is a great step in the right direction.

Develop Your Assertiveness (Creating Success) - I found the book to be quite useful. A good pick up book to refer to every now and again. I have to say though, it didn t really differ too much from many other assertiveness manuals I have read.
