Atricle Dump - Assertiveness Succeeds: The Ask Andy Columns
I was a sales consultant for the Yellow Pages for 25 years. I went through a six-week course designed to give me all the tools necessary to achieve success. It began with an overview of the six step sales procedure that is common in one form or another in most sales organizations. In case your particular selling group is not in the loop or somehow missed this basic technique, I’ll try to recreate what goes on
PR, that is public-relations, leads the way to effective advertising; opening the channel of communication and allowing the advertising to be acceptable. Public-relations is really all the different ways of communicating that enable society and individuals and groups and organizations to better function and more understandably communicate with each other. Marketing is composed of the different forms of commu
Why can't I meet a girl who is confident about herself and has a great smile, someone who is fun, assertive, daring, likes to have a little adventure, a girl with a great laugh, a caring personality? Why Can't I Meet?
Dear Why Can't I Meet?
That girl is out there and you might have already met her. You need to be certain that you are projecting these qualities that you're looking for. Are you confident in your expression of yourself to new people you meet? Are you fun, assertive, even a bit daring? Something tells me that you are adventuresome, laugh a lot, and have a caring personality. So you simply need to express what you want, and she may even find you.

I know there is no reason for an assertive woman to feel less attractive, lacking in empathy, or not be very likeable. There is no reason why a woman can't feel assertively feminine, but a small voice, maybe from childhood, is always telling me to tone my naturally assertive nature down a bit. Should I listen? Should I Listen?
Dear Should I Listen?
First you need to look and analyze before you listen. If you and others are seeing an assertively feminine woman truly, and perhaps only your best friends will level with you on this, then you can follow your natural assertive manner. But, if the feedback from yourself, after some careful examination, and others indicates you are too demanding or worse abrasive in your interactions with others, then you might pay some heed to that small voice.
Dear Andy
I've tried to be more assertive for years, but I still feel bitter at times that others often use me or walk over me. I know this deprives me of what I need and deserve, but I don't know what else to do. Need and Deserve
Dear Need and Deserve
You may need to make a plan, get books for guidance or talk to a professional about learning to express yourself more assertively and more effectively. This sometimes takes a good deal of work to build self-esteem and self-confidence, keys to being more assertive. There are examples of famous people such as actress Jane Fonda, who said it took her years to become more assertive and get over the "disease to please." Don't berate or demean yourself for what's past, but move forward with steps to tell people your desires and needs in a politely assertive, but firm manner. Then, others will respect your wishes and be more accommodating. There are books listed on this blog which could o

Like most organizations, schools in the United States are subject to constant budget stress. Important athletic and scholastic programs are subject to budget cuts as demographics change and taxpayers become increasingly budget aware. As a result, schools include fund raising resources in their planning for programs.Education should rank high on the list of tax payer funding. With exception of defense, i

Dear Andy
I know I'm not as assertive as I should be. I wonder how much a weak self-image or lacking confidence is the root cause? Lacking Confidence
Dear Lacking Confidence
Everyone down deep lacks confidence at times from presidents to professors to high-wire walkers. There is an old saying: "never let them see you sweat." Maybe you need to lear to be more assertive by taking an inventory of your self-image. List the areas where you have strengths and have had successes, and also note where your life plan needs work. This can be a good jump start on more self-confidence and self-esteem. If you don't feel you're making progress in a reasonable time, it is possible talking to a professional would be beneficial.
