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: Communicating assertively means you’re standing up for your needs, values, and boundaries without being aggressive or passive. This builds your self esteem and helps others take you seriously.
Assertiveness encourages open, honest communication. Over time, it helps create mutual respect and trust, which strengthens personal and professional relationships even if there’s occasional disagreement. |
