Assertiveness and Confidence

Bill Keefe, Founder CampusBlues.com

Do you have trouble speaking up or saying no? Do you have trouble finding time to do the things that are important to you?

If this sounds familiar, you may need some assertiveness training!

Being a "team player", a good friend, or a cool roommate shouldn't always require you to make sacrifices. Compromise is a healthy part of human relationships. All relationships will require some "give and take".

Unfortunately some people find themselves always on the giving side. Allowing people to take until there is nothing left. This can become quite unhealthy!

While some of the blame can be placed on "selfish" or "stubborn" and "needy" friends, you should take a hard look at yourself!

The following collection of articles are excellent reading for students hoping to increase personal assertiveness.
