Course Summary

Assertiveness is a behaviour that many people aspire to develop more of. Assertiveness is behaviour that allows a person to express honest feelings in a straightforward way and to exercise personal rights without dismissing the rights of others. Assertive people feel positive about themselves and others and give and receive respect openly.

This interactive one-day workshop will enable learners to develop strategies they can implement in all aspects of their lives. Learners will be given opportunity to explore concepts and behaviours associated with having a balanced approach to asserting your rights, without infringing on the rights of other people in your network.
