“Being assertive means expressing your feelings, thoughts, wishes and needs when you want to, and standing up for yourself and your rights without violating the rights of others,” said Davis. “We will focus on assertiveness skills for dealing with criticism and disappointment, saying no, and being able to assertively give and receive compliments.”
