5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book,
This review is from: Civilized Assertiveness for Women: Communication with Backbone...not Bite (Paperback)
I knew I needed to set limits with other people, but I didn't have the words. This book does. It gives a few phrases that work everywhere with everyone, as well as other phrases to use with bosses vs. colleagues, or with coworkers vs. family and friends. It's not your average "self-help" book -- it's down to earth and truly useful. The author explains how women are raised to not stand up for themselves and then show how we can do it without getting the backlash we fear or expect. It's a great book.

A must have for all women,
By A Customer
This review is from: Civilized Assertiveness for Women: Communication with Backbone...not Bite (Paperback)
This is a guide for not only women in the workplace but women in their personal lives. We have been preconditioned to act and talk in specific way. This book easily guides you into making sound decisions on choices of responses to difficult situations. It is easy to follow and helps you speak what is truly on your mind without being cruel. It is all about being direct and getting what you want!!

Highly recommend if your a woman and work with men,
This review is from: Civilized Assertiveness for Women: Communication with Backbone...not Bite (Paperback)
I found this book very enlightening. The author gives you practical examples that you can use in your workplace, and by just using them you engage in better communication that empowers you. It gives you an understaning of men and the techniques they have been taught from childhood to use, and how we can work with them to assert what we need.
I would highly recommend this book - and I will let it speak for itself when you buy it!
