Assertive Woman

Jodechi has helped many women find the true meaning of what it is to be assertive. The assertive pendulum swings between being passive and being aggressive. Being assertive is when you have the right balance.

Jodechi’s assertiveness teachings are for all women. It is for the woman at home who doesn’t have a voice and who is terrified of saying no to anyone. It is for the women whose lack of assertiveness is in the way of them achieving their goals and it is for the women in the workplace that have learned to be aggressive in order to have a voice. Jodechi will teach you how to be more effective, positive, supportive and competent in the work place by learning that being strong doesn’t mean being aggressive.

Remember that your rights and feelings are just as important as other people's and their feelings and opinions are no less important than yours. Being assertive is about valuing others and treating them fairly, hearing their opinions and sharing your own. Being assertive is about respecting others and not resorting to manipulation, deceit, or abuse. Learning how to stand up for yourself won't destroy others' rights. Being assertive means having the self-confidence to be yourself. Clarify what you want. Don't retreat into silence or bully other people; rather tune in to your wants and needs and make requests. Being assertive means being clear. Learning how to stand up for yourself means being honest.

Jodechi will teach you how to say “no”. She will teach you to have an opinion, that it is ok to have an opinion and help you learn how to express it. She will show you your own importance and that your happiness and health can come first and that the world won’t crash down around you because of it. If you're putting everyone above your own needs, then learning to be assertive will change your life dramatically. Not taking care of yourself is similar to not standing up for yourself. With Jodechi’s help you can change your life now and live it from this day forward in a much more positive and healthy way.

I'm from an older generation where I was taught to do what everyone wanted me to do. I wasn't allowed my own opinion. Actually, I was so entrenched in doing things for others that I don't think I even had an opinion other than opinions about getting the kids to school, cook the meals, run the household, iron my husbands shirts. The idea of doing what I wanted to do, well, that simply didn't occur. There was too much to do and too many people to do things for.

Then I got cancer. And that changed everything. I first went to see Jodechi because a friend recomended her for healing. But it is always so much more than that when you go to see Jodechi. Yes, there was hands on healing and that was lovely and helped a lot but she also helped teach me that I have the right to my own opinion. I can choose what I do in my daily life. I can actually do things just for myself. Things that make me happy. I love my family and I love my friends but I also need to love who I am. And with that knowledge- I plan on winning this battle with cancer.

Thank God I met Jodechi.
