Essay: When you choose to be assertive, you won't always get everything you want. With that in mind, why should you still choose to communicate assertively? Provide two reasons.
Student Answer: Assertiveness helps me communicate with others, and if I am not assertive, they won't know what I am struggling with or what I need.
Communicating assertively helps me build respect with other people; I respect them and they respect me. |
