Assertiveness – The win-win approach to relationships at work

Assertiveness is a way of relating to the outside world, backed up by a set of skills for effective communication. To be truly assertive, you need to recognise your worth and your right to enjoy life. At the same time you value others, respecting their right to an opinion and to enjoy themselves.

This programme is for you if you want a toolkit of techniques to engage with other people, whilst also respecting your own needs. You will be encouraged to apply a range of methods to invoke behaviour that is more assertive and will learn how to communicate positively to achieve win-win outcomes.
