Assertive communication, source of emotional liberation

One of the big skills that have done that the human beings have evolved so much along the years is his big capacity of communication in all and each one of his forms. When it produces  a good communication creates  a flow of information between emisor and receptor that benefits to both parts. This mutual profit increases  exponencialmente when what transmit does  of efficient way, intelligible and with a good assertiveness communication.

The strategies, technical and formulas for the improvement of the communication, like part of the human behaviour that it is, can be studied and put in practice with the help of professionals of the area of the communication, as it is the case of the experts of Sferamind, a place where can find the necessary resources to improve our personal performance.

What is the assertiveness communication?

The asertividad is a quality of the emotional intelligence thanks to which a person is able to affirm or deny a positioning, idea, right or belief of firm way, simple and coherent respecting the ideas and rights of the other without offending them.

The people that dominate the communication asertiva are able to respect  like this same and to the other expressing his own ideas of sincere way, in the suitable moment and without need to transgress the beliefs of the other by what go to achieve his aims of way more direct. This type of behaviour benefits so much to the emisor as to the receptor since the person asertiva will not allow that they manipulate it to his antojo and at the same time the another person will listen and will have the opportunity to understand these thoughts that the person asertiva wants to transmit him. It is therefore a process comunicacional with a high load of empathy.

The assertiveness creates people freer

The asertividad allows to defend of the criticisms or of excessive requests that the other do on him demanding a commitment of respect by his decisions, is therefore a right.
