This powerful teaching will equip you to gently and firmly protect your boundaries and be honest with others about what you are truly thinking and feeling. These skills will help you achieve and maintain the mutual respect and balance of power, which are essential for healthy relationships.
You will learn how to confidently and respectfully respond to rude or belligerent people and calmly assert yourself in the face of intimidation, coercion and domination.
Instead of avoiding pushy people, withdrawing or allowing resentment to build up until you explode in anger – this teaching will help you maintain your self-respect and boundaries by speaking the truth in love. It will also give you multiple examples of how to ‘pushback’ in a non-inflammatory way.

I loved the Healthy Assertiveness workshop, Joan. What you taught was invaluable. I am so glad to have the recording to be able to listen to over and over as it was so full of information to process. Thank you so much for continuing to share your wisdom.

I thoroughly enjoyed Joan's Online Assertiveness Workshop… I particularly liked the emphasis on respectful, but firm requests... and that we often miss out…if we don't have the courage to use Healthy Boundaries for ourselves.
