Life Skills: How to Be Assertive Without Being a JerkPeople who are not assertive are usually kind, thoughtful, caring people, with good intentions. Trouble is, they pay a price for being nice. They often give way to the interests of others, get stepped on, ignored, suffer self-esteem issues and otherwise do not live full and rich lives.Since these people do not want to harm others, they are afraid of acting more assertively and have difficulty changing. They would like to be heard, but not by becoming a jerk.Course instructor Bob Brown has been helping people with this problem for 50 years and knows how you can find your place in the sun.You will learn how to begin changing right away. The goal will be for you to have normal people interactions and to be assertive when that is necessary. You will learn what to do and what not to do. You will learn specific and unique tools, such as Ob-Quest and the Columbo Technique.
