Publisher's summary

Do you say yes even if you want to say no?

Do you feel like you are a people pleaser?

Do you often give in to others at the expense of your own needs?

If you do, and you want to stop being “too nice,” then Assertiveness Training is for you.

Being able to communicate effectively is a critical skill for both professional success and personal relationships. The lack of being able to be assertive heavily impacts your ability for effective communication and can lead to feeling powerless and having low self-esteem.

The good news is that there's a simple solution. By understanding that people-pleasing is a habit and not a trait, you can start working on breaking this habit and replacing it with assertive habits.

This approach is detailed in Assertiveness Training: Stop People Pleasing, Feeling Guilty, and Caring for What Others Think, and Start Speaking Up, Saying No, and Being More Confident.

Amazon best-selling author, James W. Williams, provides a start-to-finish blueprint for bringing out your inner assertive self. He'll show you, step by step, how to overcome your tendency to people please, and how to go after what you want.

You'll receive more than 21 chapters with proven techniques for conquering your habit of being “too nice.” You'll also learn the reasons why you people please and why some people take advantage of people pleasers both consciously and unconsciously.

Assertiveness Training is for anyone who struggles with being “too nice.” Whether you're a student, corporate executive, stay-at-home parent, or an entrepreneur, the tactics described in this book can begin your personal transformation journey.

Grab your copy of Assertiveness Training today to finally conquer your inner people pleaser and start going after what you want!

Great

The narration is clear and straightforward. I like this book better than 1 or 2 other assertive books I tried before it that were more focused on discussing the victims side. This one discusses the issues and how to change them, unbiased. The focus is on handling requests, but the info can be applied to all communication. Thank you!
