The Assertiveness Protocol

De: Erickson Institute

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Many people struggle to say what they mean. They agree too quickly, explain too much, and let others set the terms of their time and energy. The result is frustration, missed opportunities, and a constant sense of being out of step with their own decisions.

This book is a 21-day program to change that pattern. Each day introduces one focused practice you can use right away. Step by step, you train yourself to speak in plain sentences, decide before you talk, and stop carrying the weight of other people’s reactions in your head.

The work is simple but consistent. You’ll practice setting limits without apology, asking directly for what you want, keeping decisions steady once they’re made, and separating what actually happened from the stories you attach to it. Instead of long explanations and second-guessing, you’ll learn to place a sentence once and let it stand.

By the end of the following 21 days, you’ll notice the difference in how you feel and behave in your everyday life. You’ll respond faster to others, with authenticity, confidence, and resolve, and without hesitation. You'll stop overcommitting or overexplaining your desires, needs, or choices. You’ll walk away from conversations without replaying them endlessly in your mind or regretting your reactions afterwards. You’ll feel more at ease in your words and choices. Even more importantly, you’ll feel much more at ease in your own skin, being your true self.

If you’ve had enough of giving in to your old ineffective behavioral patterns and are tired of explaining yourself, asking permission, or staying silent when you wanted to speak, this book gives you the structure to change it once and for all. Give it twenty-one days.
