Introduction: what is assertiveness

Assertiveness is a manner of life, a method of conducting business founded on mutual respect and consideration. It is all about building connections that are founded on trust, respect, openness, and honesty.

However, when things are tough, some people may find themselves in this life position and may benefit from the assistance of a counselor during this time. The task for everyone is to build and maintain a healthy living posture that is assertive/creative; I'm OK: You're OK. People who choose this life path choose to respect themselves and form connections in which there is an underlying respect for other people and their
