Assertiveness and Self-Confidence

Overview

The ability to communicate assertively and confidently with our colleagues is an essential skill for success in a professional business setting. It’s vital for organisations to have leaders who possess the confidence to delegate work, express their true opinions, share their ideas and ask for what they need done.

In this workshop you’ll learn tools and strategies that you can use to get what you want, without denying others what they need. You’ll gain confidence, and most importantly, you will know how to put your ideas forward and get what you need from now on — in a fair, empathetic and reasonable way that strengthens your relationships with others.
