Assertive Balance: Embrace Both Views

Assertiveness involves maintaining clear beliefs and standing firm while being receptive to others' perspectives. This balance between confidence in one's stance and openness to differing opinions enhances communication and mutual understanding. Listening does not undermine assertiveness; rather, it enriches it. The 'I'm OK, You're OK' model emphasizes this equilibrium, highlighting that assertiveness fosters a respectful acknowledgment of both one's own value and that of others. This approach encourages individuals to be assertive without disregarding the impact of their actions on others.
