Assert Yourself and Build Confidence

Assertiveness is the antidote to fear, shyness, passivity and even anger, so there is an astonishingly wide range of situations in which this training is appropriate.

It can be stressful if you feel you cannot tactfully and effectively speak out.

Assertive communication can strengthen relationships and inspire respect.

Common concerns we hear include:

• How do I say 'no' to unreasonable and excessive requests?

• How do I avoid overloading my schedule?

• How do I build belief in myself?

• How do I portray confidence?

This thought provoking and practical workshop will encourage you to contribute more fully to any discussion.

Finding your voice can take courage and we can help you to do that.
