The Assertiveness Workbook

“If you’d like to be more assertive, the only question to ask yourself is, ‘Am I willing to do something to help myself?’ If the answer is yes, congratulations! You’ve found a guide to ‘do assertiveness’—that is, to be who you are and effectively assert yourself. Give yourself permission to get out of your own way, and simply follow Randy’s workbook. Identify what parts resonate and work there; don’t fret about any parts that don’t. He’s giving you a gift to courageously be you. And I’m cheering for you to do just that.“—Molly Tschang, founder of Abella Consulting, and creator of the Say It Skillfully radio show/podcast and video series * Molly Tschang, founder of Abella Consulting, and creator of the Say It Skillfully radio show/podcast and video series *
