Develop Your Assertiveness

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.

After the workshop, you will be able to:

• communicate effectively using assertive techniques
