How the assertiveness workbook printable builds your confidence

You begin by learning how passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive and assertive communication differ, then quiz yourself on eight real-life sentences, with an answer key. Next comes the four part I-statement formula (I feel, when, because, I would like), shown with before and after examples and three guided boxes to try it yourself.

Six approaches to declining, a planner for hard conversations and eight ready-made scripts give you phrases you can borrow. A practice tracker collects each small moment you found your voice, so you can see your growth.
