This program, run over three weeks, is all about giving you that confidence — so you can enjoy more rewarding relationships in all spheres of your life. It’s a highly interactive program, using hands-on examples to help you be clearer, more confident, and able to create win-win situations out of conflict.

 

Your employer will benefit because:

As a much more assertive and self-confident employee, you'll bring the ability to express praise and criticism constructively, solve problems more effectively and feel more comfortable saying 'no' to unrealistic demands.

 

This course is right for you:

If you want to become more assertive, communicate more effectively and resolve conflicts more successfully. Or if you'd like to develop the skills that'll give you confidence when dealing with different styles of behaviour.

 

You’ll learn how to:

  • Recognise your own dominant style of behaviour
  • Identify the characteristics of different behavioural styles
  • Deal with aggressive and non-assertive behaviour
  • Use alternative behaviours to resolve conflicts

We'll cover:

  • Saying 'no' comfortably and respectfully
  • Expressing praise and criticism constructively
  • Becoming more assertive and self-confident
  • Solving problems
  • Recognising different behaviours and dealing with them
