Positive Self-Assertion

Chapter 3 in Assertiveness and Diversity, 2007, pp 26-35 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Developing assertiveness and diversity in organizations is about developing people, in particular developing self-awareness and awareness of others, as well as the impact people have on each other. Positive self-assertion is about people having the confidence to be themselves, to know and be true to their values and beliefs, and to have the courage to speak their truth. Key to this is developing a strong connection with oneself— physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually, through which there is awareness of one’s qualities, abilities, and limitations. People who have a strong sense of self are able to be vulnerable, and know when to ask for help. The stronger and more connected people are to themselves, the stronger is their connection and relationship with others.
