Assertiveness - 2 day
This full 2 day course provides participants with guidelines for standing up for themselves without violating the rights of other people. You will develop confidence and understand the impact of the assertive style in defusing problem situations. Assertive behaviour enables you to talk about your needs or ideas and the outcome you would prefer, without arousing defensiveness in the person or group addressed. The course also helps people who tend to be aggressive and would like to find out how to replace aggressive with assertive. Depending upon the levels of personal challenges, one of two courses may be more appropriate - a 1 day and a 2 day version.
