I understand now how being assertive is an important skill for a person. We learnt how to be tactful with our words, body language and tone of voice, which are concepts that we can apply every day in our lives and even at work.

I have learnt how to use different effective assertive techniques to communicate with my bosses and peers.

The class was fun and interactive. We were able to learn with ease and contribute comfortably. Trainer is also humorous.

Is the lack of assertiveness keeping you from fulfilling your potential and reaching your goals? Is assertiveness a people skill and quality you would like to acquire to naturally attract people to respond to you positively?

Many of us do know that being assertive means having a greater sense of self-worth and confidence without being aggressive. However, we may not know what is involved in assertive interactions. In this programme, we will be exploring two aspects of assertive interactions, namely assertive curiosity and ambition.
