Are You Assertive?
An ASSERTIVE person is clear, confident, cool, and in control of his or herself at all times. This person stands up for his or her rights without stepping on other people's rights. He or she speaks directly, honestly and respectfully with a clear speaking voice. The assertive person is able to say "no" to something he or she is uncomfortable with, and is not willing to compromise his or her own values or beliefs in order to make another person happy. It's awesome to be an assertive person!
