Assertiveness skills training

Overview

Being able to express yourself clearly and assertively both in the workplace and in your relationships is beneficial to you, your employer and those you have relationships with. But we are often not used to saying what we think, feel or want, and can fear coming across as aggressive. There are many misunderstandings about what assertiveness is and we will address these in the workshop.
