Self-Assertiveness Part I

What do these two things that have been in the news lately have in common: the increased number of wedding announcements for the month of June and the death of Leona Helmsley’s dog Trouble? They are about relationships. You may recall that Helmsley left millions to her dog. Perhaps Trouble was the only one with whom she could be herself. Dogs are so easily unconditional in their regard for us; you don't have to struggle to get there. And I hope that all of those new married people are asserting their genuine selves to their spouses (not just their dogs!) as that is the way for a relationship to grow and thrive.
Relationships are so important. Studies have demonstrated that the number one predictor of well-being is the time we spend with people we care about, and that people in a romantic, intimate relationship are generally happier.
I'm not spending all of my time reading soft news. I have been working with several organizations to develop their managers and build teams. Relationships in the work place also play such an important part in our well being and our success. Many of us spend a lot of time with the people with whom we work and need to work as part of a team to reach our goals. So this month I'm going to look at a crucial part of how we create successful relationships, and that is by the practice of self-assertiveness.
I'm also offering a limited offer for companies who want to develop their most valuable resource: 15% off on executive coaching, management development and team building. There are only a only a few openings and the offer ends July 15th, act now!
