Assertiveness Skills
Course Aims
This one-day programme aims to bring a depth of insight into a person's own thinking process and behaviour patterns, which will enable them to make conscious changes through new learning and skill application.
The aim in all communication should not be to win, but to seek the best outcome for both parties. This course will provide delegates with the key skills to plan and structure their communications to best effect for each of their own specific workplace situations.
Delegates should feel more confident and in control when dealing with work relationships, difficult people and situations as a result of this training.
