Make Life Easy with Assertive Communication

Communicating Assertively
Learn. Practice. Transform. Feel Good.
With Bharat & Savita Wakhlu

Many times, we experience immense frustration, anger or hurt while interacting and dealing with others! We find it easy to blame them for the pain we feel. But the reality is that the locus of control of our emotions and feelings is always with us. How we think, perceive, feel and behave is our responsibility. Nothing outside of us can impact our “inner workings”.

Communicating assertively comprises a set of skills and communication abilities that help us, in influencing the dialogues and conversations we have, in a positive and an active manner. Learning the language of Assertiveness, grasping its elements and practicing its application, helps us see its transformational effects on our relationships and our well-being.
