Post category:Assertiveness Decision Making

As highly sensitive people, many of us dislike conflict, so we may avoid confronting service providers who don’t do a good job. That doesn’t seem fair to me, so I want to encourage you to be assertive when it comes to hiring people, even when it isn’t easy. We deserve the best!

It can be difficult to break out of our normal routines and patterns of thinking. Why do we persist on the same path and expect different results?
