“I really enjoyed doing this course. It was easy to follow. I found the examples of how to respond in different situations extremely helpful. I was able to take real life situations I struggled with and use the examples to practice being assertive, which worked really well for me."

I have put together a course on “Building Assertiveness Skills”.  This course contains lots of material I have used with great success in one-on-one coaching and workshops to help people become more assertive. This course contains some core and some advanced assertiveness skills training.  There is theory, there are practical examples, and there are lots and lots of situations for you to try out assertiveness for yourself.

ASSERTIVENESS SKILLS

Being assertive means to stand up for our needs and wants while respecting the self-esteem of others.  We stand up for ourselves, we recognise our rights, and at the same time recognise the rights of others.  The foundational beliefs of assertiveness are that we both count equally.  We are both equally valuable human beings.  If you are stressed a lot then learning to be assertive will help a great deal.  If you are aggressive then learning assertiveness skills will help you be less aggressive.  Many people who are aggressive are that way because they don’t want people to walk all over them, but they don’t know how to be stand up for themselves and at the same time be nice to others.
