“Identify what the issues are and decide whether you can salvage the relationship. If the answer is no, be assertive and tell it like it is. If you need to break that relationship, subtlety doesn't work. You don't have to be unkind, but just explain that it isn't working for you.”
Gladeana McMahon
“The individual never asserts himself more than when he forgets himself”

Cecil Beaton
“Assertiveness is not what you do, it's who you are!”
