Assertive Communication
Speak Up – Express Your Opinions – Be Heard!
OVERVIEW
This Assertiveness Training Course develops assertiveness skills and improves communication with others in business situations.
Being assertive is being able to express yourself with confidence without having to resort to passive, aggressive or manipulative behaviour.
By developing assertiveness and becoming aware of our own strengths and weaknesses, we can modify our behaviour for greater effectiveness in social and business interactions.
With the training this course provides, participants will know how to become more assertive and build self-confidence, which in-turn will help them to achieve greater work effectiveness and productivity. It will give them more control in their daily activities and some strategies to overcome stressful work and life situations.
Key Components of this Assertiveness Training Course are:
- What is Assertiveness? – A series of activities relating to what assertiveness means and, perhaps more importantly, what it means to the participants.

- How Assertiveness Works – A look at human reactions and the reasoning behind them culminating in an activity that looks at the participants own observations in relation to assertive behaviour.
- My Assertive Rights – A review of the rights we have as individuals followed by a commitment to the rights by the participants.
