Assertive behavior
Congrats! This is good to hear and encouraging. I'm being bold - responding to part of the Program that I have not covered yet 
But last year, a good friend shared with me a "type" of Assertive Process she learned. It helps me; when I remember it & remember that being assertive is not bad. Actually some people appreciate knowing (what ever you need to explain). Like Lucinda says "there are 40% of the people who want to (really) know who you (we) are! 
- Also, I responded cuz no one has responded to you yet and I felt you should get a "pat on the back". Now if anyone reads this and knows the program - please put in your "two cents worth"!
