You cannot reach your new year's resolutions without getting the proper education. You must prepare yourself for success by learning the skills that are needed to reach your goals.

Assertiveness training is the single most important skill you can learn to get better results. There is a long history of psychological research which documents its effectiveness.

Dr. Jeanette's unique assertiveness training phone course can even help you create more time for fitness, lose weight and enjoy life more.

How could this be true?

Your own negative thoughts are often the major obstacle between you and your success. So, you will learn to stand up to your inner critic, as well as to other people.

In this course you learn how to say, "no." Just imagine how much saying "no" will reduce your anxiety and improve your chances for success.

You need to say, "no" to the rude person beside you who is breaking in line.

You need to say, "no" to your inner critic when he or she throws water on your dreams.

This assertiveness training course is for you if you:

1. Are trapped in any situation you do not like.

2. Cannot communicate what you need to others.

3. Are "angry"or "insensitive" to others.

4. Feel anxious and cannot relax.

5. Want more closeness and intimacy with others.

How can you be more effective?

You need to become brave and feel brave so people respect you and know they cannot ignore you, push you around and hurt you.

You could stand up straight and act brave, but this will rarely fool people.

For example, in the forest any mother bear knows if you are scared of her or not. You cannot fool her. Humans are just like bears, they know if you are anxious and scared. You cannot fool them.

People may not be able to put the "energy" they are sensing into words and yet they know they can push you around!   Even when you try to act like you are not scared, they can feel your anxious, passive energy. They can also feel your anxious, aggressive energy.

For example, one of my early clients was unable to disagree with his wife. He let her make every decision because she would have a “fit” if he did not go along with her desires.

He felt like a “door mat,” like no one valued him or cared about him. His wife could feel his passivity. Therefore, she took advantage of him.

To change this situation, I taught him to reduce his anxiety, relax his body and be assertive.  As he improved his assertiveness and relaxation skills, his wife could feel the change in him. His physical energy became stronger, more solid and flexible.

His body relaxed and he became emotionally secure. Soon, his wife was no longer able to manipulate him with her “fits.” His self esteem improved and he was able to stand his ground.

Their relationship improved because she began to relate to him as an equal. She changed how she related to him because he began to relate to her differently. He related to her as an equal.

Apply this example to your life situation.

You need to learn to reduce your anxiety, relax your body and be assertive. Then people will feel your energy shift from anxious to relaxed. This means your energy is shifting from weak to strong.

As you practice your assertiveness skills, you will move away from passive behaviors to more assertive behaviors. You will move away from passive-aggressive and aggressive behaviors to more assertive behaviors.

"Stop the World From Pushing You Around: Six Weeks to Solid Self-Confidence," will provide you with the information, tools, coaching, practice and support you need to follow through on new assertive behaviors that will definitely improve your self esteem.

These same behaviors will ensure you reach your New Year's Resolutions in 2011.

"When you become assertive, people will respond to you differently. This is because they can feel your energy and power. They know they can not ignore you, hurt you or push you around." Dr. Doris Jeanette

Just think, you could become assertive without leaving home.

You can also enjoy the benefits of this assertiveness training course immediately because you will be practicing as soon as the course starts.

The results of being assertive, as opposed to being passive or aggressive, are quite different. You have already experienced the negative results in your life of being passive and aggressive.

Just imagine how wonderful it will be to reap positive results when you become more assertive.

How qualified is Dr. Doris Jeanette as an assertiveness training teacher? (Read recommendations from clients.)

Doris Jeanette was trained to teach assertiveness training classes during her post doctorate training at Temple Medical School in the late 1970s when assertiveness training was very popular. Dr. Jeanette taught courses at many of the major universities in the area such as Swarthmore College and Jefferson Medical School.

How is this convenient, assertiveness training phone course different from others?

Today it is hard to find any high quality assertiveness training classes and courses. Everyone still needs assertiveness training classes, but they are no longer popular.
