Many people can communicate firmly, but with a force that is rude and combative.  Others can be calm, but with a manner that invites invalidation.  Would you believe that it is possible to blend your firm convictions with a calm disposition?  If you want to manage personal boundaries well, you can choose to stand strongly for your needs without also being argumentative and imposing.  It requires self-restraint, but a calmly firm person can truly become a person of influence.
