The Assertiveness Workbook

This work is for all women who lack confidence and want to improve their communication skills - but are not looking for major changes in their lives. It also advises on how to cultivate a more positive approach both in work and in relationships. Ordinary women have rights - the right to have opinions and have those opinions respected by others, the right to choose where to live, or who to marry, the right to consider personal needs, the right to refuse a request felt to be unjustified, the right to be successful, and the right to make a mistake. Joanna Gutmann shows how to assert personal rights in a reasonable and responsible way, whilst at the same time respecting those of others.
