Background on This Chat Topic
People often think of people skills as the opposite of assertiveness. Not true!! This belief may flourish when defining assertiveness as getting what you want. Well that isn’t what assertiveness really is.
People Skills Twitter Chat Oct. 6, 2013 TOPIC: Assertiveness
Join People Skills Twitter Chat Sun. Oct. 6, 2013 10am EDT.
My co-host for this chat will be Guillaume Gevrey, cross cultural OD consultant whose latest blog post, 4 Steps to Being More Assertive was the inspiration for this Sunday’s people skills chat.
What is assertiveness and how can it make for good relationships AND great results?
- What is assertiveness?
- How is it different from aggressiveness and domination?
- How do you feel around an assertive person? Really?
- What role does listening play in assertiveness?
- How does self-esteem play into assertiveness?
- Can we be understanding and compassionate of others’ needs and still be assertive?
- How do cultural differences define and deal with assertiveness differently?
These are just a few questions to get us thinking before we begin the people skills chat this Sunday!
So bring your personal perspective, your favorite beverage, and join us from around the globe this Sunday in the USA — Oct. 6, 2013 at 10am EDT — to explore Assertiveness and People skills.
I also invite you to continue this chat by joining the Google+ People Skills Community to be a part of all the people skills discussions not just on Sundays but everyday 24×7.
