Key Elements:
- Uncovering some different angles on the idea of being assertive.
- Understanding how change can look in our relationships when we begin speaking our truth.
- Look at ways we can soften our delivery while standing our ground.
“To be passive is to let others decide for you.
To be aggressive is to decide for others.
To be assertive is to decide for yourself.
And to trust that there is enough,
that you are enough.”
― Edith Eva Eger
