New eCourse:  GEAR UP for SUCCESS with ASSERTIVENESS TRAINING!

What exactly is Assertiveness? Why is it important to be assertive?  How does one become more Assertive?  What are the most important Assertiveness skills and techniques? What keeps us from being more assertive? These questions and many more will be answered in this eCourse.  You will learn and practice the skills and techniques needed to become more assertive, and, more importantly, you will develop an attitude of assertiveness=respecting yourself and expecting respect from others.  You will learn how to ask for what you want and need, make responsible choices and decisions,  reduce or eliminate blocks, manage anger and anxiety, and deal constructively with conflict. 

Each session will include exercises for skill practice as well as recommended homework assignments between lessons.  This eCourse also provides rich resources for further learning.
