In these conversations, it&#8217;s important that we are mindful of how we look, how we behave, what we say, and how we say it. All of these factors are crucial in creating and preserving amiable relationships that provide everyone mutually-beneficial social connections and positive feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Imagine a scenario where we just mind our own business. Nobody talks to one another. It&#8217;s boring, isn&#8217;t it? How about a situation in which the moment we start talking, animosity develops instantly. It&#8217;ll be chaos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all need to interact one way or another and when we do, it is very important that the right words are spoken, the right tone is delivered, and the right body language is shown. Our actions or behaviors are all prone to misinterpretations and when some sensitive buttons are pushed, inadvertently or not, relationships are at stake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That&#8217;s where assertiveness comes in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Most dictionaries define being assertive as simply being confident and determined. However, being such\u00a0is much more than that. After all, it came from its root word, <em>assert<\/em> that means &#8216;to express something positively&#8217; whether it&#8217;s a standpoint or anything else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Therefore, to be assertive is to be confident yet positive. We don&#8217;t want to come across as annoying. Really, there&#8217;s a fine line between being bold and being arrogant. We don&#8217;t want to cross the line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The first step to learning and mastering being assertive is possessing a positive outlook and allowing ourselves to dwell on happy thoughts and optimism instead. True enough, what we say is a product of how and what we think. Therefore, if our impressions are favorable, there&#8217;s no need to worry about hurting other people&#8217;s feelings or being hated for having an unbearable attitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Next is to remember the following. Being assertive is&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Standing up for our rights while still respecting others.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Defending our own boundaries while not crossing other people&#8217;s lines.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Expressing our own opinion, need, and feelings without hurting others.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Disagreeing without being disagreeable.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In other words, one of the old golden rules very much applies in assertiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Don&#8217;t do to others what you don&#8217;t want them to do to you.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It&#8217;s never wrong to protect our rights and vocalize them. It&#8217;s not a mortal sin, just the same, for us to express our viewpoints. The freedom of expression still exists. Nobody can tell us to say no when we need, have, should, or must to. That&#8217;s basic. Nevertheless, if we have any care for relationships, personal, work, or whatever it is, it&#8217;s very helpful to mind our manners and be assertive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Two of the most simple yet perennially-effective approaches to assertiveness are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Think first before we speak.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let&#8217;s keep in mind\u00a0<strong>T.H.I.N.K.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is it\u00a0<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">T<\/span>RUE?<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is it\u00a0<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">H<\/span>ELPFUL?<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is it\u00a0<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">I<\/span>NSPIRING?<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is it\u00a0<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">N<\/span>ECESSARY?<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is it\u00a0<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">K<\/span>IND?<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If what we&#8217;re going to say, even do, is an affirmation of all of these, then we&#8217;re on the right path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another question we have to ask ourselves is\u00a0<em>&#8216;What would possibly happen or how would this person react if I say or do this?&#8217;.\u00a0<\/em>Assertiveness is about being proactive. It&#8217;s negating any possibility of the person we communicate with getting mad at us or disliking whatever we said or did and how we said or did it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The other one is&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Always improve ourselves.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As an influential training provider and training consultant in the Philippines, one of my philosophies that I share with corporate talents and students alike that I train and talk to is<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Who you are, what you have become, and what you can do should always be a better version of who you were, what you became, and what you could do.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We should always be better than we were yesterday. If we ended up hurting other people&#8217;s feelings or burned the bridge with another person, we must always assess what we had said or done and how we can either correct, improve, or replace it the next time we see ourselves in the same predicament in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Assertiveness, thus, is a very interesting knowledge, skill, or attitude to have. When we are assertive, as opposed to aggressive, when conversing and dealing with others, we develop harmonious relationships that we can leverage in our quest to become the best in what we do, to grow and develop as a person and as a professional in our respective businesses and careers, and to fulfill our aspirations in life and at work.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Would you love to convert this article into an in-house corporate training program on Assertiveness for your employees?
