We are already on lesson 10 (out of 12) in this Assertiveness course. Right now I'm learning about being assertive at work/in job interviews. There has been SO much good information in this course - I'm printing out each lesson as I finish it to keep in a binder for future reference. Been practicing some of the new skills I'm learning with H - and so far it's going well. I told L yesterday about a situation the night before, where I used one of them and it basically stopped h in his tracks after he started to get annoyed at me about something (where I was right and assertively stood my ground) and because I did, he actually heard what I was saying when I repeated myself and realized I was right, and he said I agree with you. It was a-maz-ing. It is going to take a lot more practice for me to start being assertive naturally; I will get there. I am getting there.
