John Murray Press Assertiveness In A Week: How To Be Assertive In Seven Simple Steps
'A useful confidence-building tool for those whose key aim is to find their inner power' Edge OnlineBeing more assertive just got easierMuch has been spoken about the assertive communication style, not all of it complimentary!

You will be able to command the respect of others, achieve your personal and professional goals and raise your self-esteem.The steps to assertive behaviour you will cover in this book are:- Understand the different styles of communication and the effect they have.- Identify your own style(s) of communication.- Know your own worth and the worth of others.- Be clear about your goals.- Be prepared to learn from your successes and failures.- Be flexible, and don't expect too much.- Learn to listen.Each of the seven chapters in Assertiveness In A Week covers a different aspect of being assertive:- Sunday: Preparing the foundations- Monday: Creating winning scenarios- Tuesday: Dealing with the 'negative'- Wednesday: Creating a positive impression- Thursday: Being assertive in public- Friday: Body language- Saturday: Personal power

Collective Ink Woman`s Way, A – The transformative journey from hurt to happiness
"A Woman's Way" is an optimistic account of transformative growth which maps the journey from inner turmoil to confidence, joy and fulfilment. This is a spiritual journey that is offered to all in early to middle adulthood but in this instance, the wisdom of a group of twelve women has been tapped to illuminate the process. Through an economical sharing of their experiences, the features of this journey are brought to light and ideas for getting through it are recommended. Describing the path that they have trodden removes its mystique and diminishes any fear that other travellers may have of exploring this (inner) landscape.Although challenging, it is an exciting journey that enables women to find their true expression and live vigorously and vitally in the world. Many who tread this path report the arrival at their destination in the most glowing terms as the dysfunctional behaviours of the past are shed in favour of self-confidence and self-responsibility. This is called the 'becoming' journey to suggest its ongoing nature and the dynamic of emerging beauty.
