  10. Assertiveness What do you think assertiveness is? Group exercise • What words and/or characteristics do you associate with assertiveness?

  11. Assertiveness Passive: • We often fail to communicate our own needs. Aggressive: • It is saying that my needs, wants and rights are more important than yours. • The aggressive person attempts to overpower the other person by not allowing him/her a choice • We let the other person’s needs, and rights take priority over our own.

  12. Assertive: • Assertiveness is active, honest and direct. • It communicates an impression of respect for yourself as well as for the other person. • It says that my wants, needs and rights are just as important as yours. • Assertive behaviour requires good listening and negotiating skills, so that the other person feels that their point of view is being heard and respected, even if you don’t agree with it. • This should lead to open, honest relationships and success without resentment.

  13. What are the consequences of being unassertive? • Other people would not be aware of our time schedules and priorities and we could feel hurt whenever our schedules are not considered by others • We avoid conflict in the short term but in the long term we lose self-respect and the respect of others • Suppression of feelings like anger, frustration and humiliation result in physical tension and stress • Our self-confidence decreases
