The assertive middle

How assertive was your last interaction?

Being assertive is a balance.

A balance between our own needs and the needs of others.

Assertiveness seeks the middle ground between passiveness and aggression.

Too passive allows people to walk over you.

It disrespects yourself.

Too aggressive will have you working against people.

It disrespects others.

Better outcomes happen when you work with people.

Be open, be honest, be respectful.

Strive for the assertive middle.
