    About this audiobook

    Tips on Being Assertive by Dr Denis McBrinn, narrated by Sara Dylan. This audiobook will bring to you a clear and comprehensive list of useful tips to help you become more assertive

    The communication skill of being assertive, is about striking the right balance between our needs and the needs of others.

    If we are always centred on satisfying our own needs, at the expense of others, we will be perceived as being selfish and aggressive.

    On the other hand, if we are always putting the needs of others first and neglecting our own essential needs, we risk being taken for granted and our self-esteem will suffer.

    Assertiveness is about finding the right response to situations, that is neither aggressive nor passive. It is an important communication tool, that can be learned and developed, with practice.


    How this audio learning experience works

    This audio presentation has been designed using an experiential learning model, Kolb, D. A. (1984): concrete learning, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.

    By taking this approach we hope to cater for all learning styles.

    You will be given specific new information in the recording usually as “key tips”, “explanations” and “quotes”. You will be led through a gentle but positive meditative reflection process to assist you before conceptualisation and then putting your new skills into practice.

    You will be encouraged to return to the recording from time to time to re-listen and reinforce your learning and the desired changes in your life.

    Enjoy!
