Being assertive is showing or having the quality of being self-assured and confident without being aggressive.
This is a very crucial skill that can help you in getting your point across and expressing yourself to others. Of course, if you’re not skilled at being assertive, it can come across differently to others and it might even portray you as a mean person. Fortunately, there is an opportunity for you to gain the knowledge on how to be assertive by participating in the Assertiveness and Self Confidence Training Course, which is being offered by PD Training in Hong Kong.
When working in an environment where you need to communicate with people, there will come a time when the person you are talking to might feel insulted, awkward or just uncomfortable with how you try to get your message across. It happens. Quite frankly, 
you might not even be aware that that is how other people feel. When that happens, people start talking and everything gets blown out of proportion and you might eventually see yourself losing your job.
To be able to get through a tough situation like this, it is always important to still have a positive attitude. Be glad that you know what the problem is because by knowing what the problem is, you will be able to find a solution for it. If you allow yourself to be dragged down by negativity, you will never be able to pull yourself up. Be rational and try to evaluate your situation. Consider your options and try to be less emotional about it. Remember, logic will win over emotion more often, especially at work. Breaking down or letting your emotions go won’t be able to change anything.
Once you see what areas you need to change, go for it. Don’t waste your time waiting for the perfect moment to do so because there isn’t any. It will be difficult at first but the longer you do the changes over and over, it will eventually become you. You might not notice the change but the people around you surely will.
