Recommendations for assertive communication
Greetings dear fellow members of the "Project Hope" community, I hope everyone is doing very well, it is a pleasure to share with you this post, this time I want to present a topic that I consider very important for all people, assertive communication, I have always considered communication as a powerfully influential tool in all relationships, at the same time it is a challenge to learn to manage it, it is essential to strengthen relationships between family members, proper communication creates healthy bonds, respect, affection and companionship either between parents, parents with children or between siblings. In the work environment it is important for the work team to achieve the proposed objectives.

With assertive communication we are able to express to others in a clear, simple and timely manner, what we think or feel, without resorting to aggression, disqualifications, reproaches or confrontations to expose our ideas. But neither does it imply a passive and docile attitude, what is always sought is a balance.
Here are some tips to communicate assertively:
- To maintain firmness in your opinions, always with honesty and respect.
- Do not assume that they read your mind, if you need something, ask for it with confidence.
- Listen to others, all opinions are valid and we can learn a lot from them.
- Be empathetic.
- Keep the focus on you, do not accuse, do not seek confrontations, do not bring things up and do not make others feel bad.
- Think well before speaking, examine the situation very well before issuing any message.
- Maintain an appropriate language at all times, respect must be maintained between the people involved in the communication.
To conclude, I could say that assertive communication is based on having a positive personal attitude when establishing family, work, friendship and companionship relationships, learning to express opinions while avoiding tension.

These are very important tips to keep in mind, sometimes it is not the message but the way it is transmitted that limits communication and makes the parties take a position that does not benefit the understanding, due to the fact of not having been empathetic or not using the right words.
