Assertive Communication - The courage to communicate honestly

We all would have come across situations wherein we are tonguetied and cannot deny because of several obligations. Day to day we would have also heard statements like

“ No thank you, I am not interested”

"I completely understand what you’re saying but I have to disagree”

“ I understand that you have a need to talk and I need to finish what I'm doing. So what about meeting in half an hour?"

and wondered how one can get his/her point across in a clear but non-aggressive way? 

In this edition, let us get inspired by Draupadi and explore the art of communicating Assertively. Understand its advantages and learn how to practice and implement it in our day-to-day life.
