Assertiveness is a particular way of communicating with others that is direct and honest, but also respectful.
An assertive communicator knows what they think, or what they want, and they are not afraid to ask for it directly
BUT they don’t let emotion control requests and they are mindful that others may also have wants or needs.
Be conscious that you shouldn’t avoid making your own needs or concerns known just to accommodate someone else.
