Course overview
Lesson Overview
7.3 – Understanding the Importance of Assertive Communication: Assertiveness means expressing needs clearly while respecting others. Use “I” statements like “I need help understanding this concept.” Keep tone calm, steady, and polite even during disagreement. Avoid apologizing for legitimate concerns or feedback. Practice active listening before responding in discussions. Maintain steady posture and neutral facial expressions. Rehearse assertive responses with a peer to gain comfort. Recognize that silence can signal confusion—speak up kindly. Assertiveness helps set boundaries and earn respect. It transforms communication from timid to empowered.
