Your post says it well. And yes, assertiveness does require us to be good listeners. I was just thinking about how crucial listening is in being assertive just this morning. When we master both skills we will have come a long way!!! Yes, Shilpan, stress does crazy things to us and it is easy to be aggressive when under stress. Your post says it well.

Assertiveness is essential in keeping our thoughts humble and to learn the skill of listening. Often under stress, we become more aggressive than assertive as I've stated in my post - http://www.thechangeblog.com/2008/04/30/5-signs-of-a-stress-ridden-mind/ You've succinctly yet effectively articulated "how-to" part of assertiveness. Great job. Shilpan Jennifer,

What a really timely post!I had one of those days today were my social interactions were a little fraught. Great information to use another day when having the same people scenarios! It seems it doesn't matter how old one is, its always good to have reminders and fresh ways to interact with others. Otherwise old behaviours can start to come into effect without realising. Its also a good technique with headstrong children ! I will look up your blog now too Hiya Jennifer
