Author's Remarks: Thank you for stopping by!!!!!! Please use the helpful references 👇👇👇👇 To help aid you in your journey to be assertive with the company you keep. I hope you learned something new and that you will understand yourself and others better. Most people are not aware of their body language and actions. They will mistake assertiveness with one of the other behaviors listed above. You may actually be too passive or too aggressive. Which is why I highly recommend the DEESC Script. If you don't know what that is please review the MyTake mentioned in the introduction 👆👆👆👆 That's all I Have.
