Below is a short excerpt: Communication is not only an important part of our relationships but also our day-to-day life. You can communicate with people and not even have a relationship with them. For example, when you go to the store, you communicate with the cashier. You may also give a nod or a look or a finger to a person in their car as a form of communication. Communication is the key to interpersonal connection. Being able to communicate effectively is useful for interactions in your workplace, in your home and family life, in your leisure activities, and in your everyday interactions as you move through the world alongside other people. The problem is, most people have no clue how to navigate these conversations. Often, they get taken advantage of with people-pleasing OR in order to avoid being overlooked, they use guilt or yell and push people away. That's why most women in the workplace become frustrated. They think they have to be a b**** in order to be heard. Assertive communication is the solution. It's a simple concept that requires little to no effort. Just set it and forget it. And in no time at all, you'll be earning respect from the people you interact with, whether you're at work or at home. Assertive & Kind breaks this down into easy-to-follow steps that will get you results in as little as one day. When you buy this book, you won't be able to put it down. But don't take our word for it.
