Course overview

Deficient actions and reactions always serve to produce feelings of contempt in other people. On the other hand, if an individual behaves in an aggressive manner and presents too strong an image, not only could this behaviour lead to disrupted communication with others, it will also tend to promote counter-aggression from those concerned. Aggressive behaviour and assertive behaviour should never be confused, for properly assertive behaviour, promotes a person’s self-image and leads to a feeling of well being.
