An interactive, practical and supportive course designed to develop assertiveness skills and boost self-confidence to enable people to work more effectively.
Understanding and behaving in an assertive way better ensures that people stay in control of their behaviour and their life, saying what they want and donât want and acting independently. An assertive person is less likely to react in an aggressive manner when feeling provoked and engender a more positive feeling amongst those around them.
There are subtleties involved when it comes to behaviour, certain actions in individuals can be the result of certain behaviours, e.g., passive aggressive behaviour can disrupt smooth progress, but it needs recognising before it can be addressed. Similarly, bullying and harassment can manifest itself in almost imperceptible ways, only recognisable when these behaviour traits are understood.
This course develops an understanding of assertiveness by describing what assertiveness is, examining other behaviour styles, and practising the skills of assertiveness using a range of techniques.
