2018: Assertiveness Skills for Women

Session Description:

LDS cultural narratives of women’s suffering, self-sacrifice, and selflessness can hinder women’s ability to be assertive and lead them to subjugate their feelings, thoughts, needs, and wants for the sake of others. This presentation will outline 5 skills of assertiveness from The Assertiveness Guide for Women as a framework to support self-awareness, emotional health, authentic expression, and respect for others’ differences, while increasing the likelihood that women will be heard and responded to in positive ways.
