Description

Aim

Assertiveness is often something that people shy away from and choose to avoid, rather than face up to. Developing assertiveness does not need to be difficult. Our assertiveness training materials enable participants to explore the concept of assertiveness and the important role this plays in everyone’s day-to-day life.

Participants will review and reflect on the value of assertiveness, identifying barriers and self-limiting beliefs that have historically prevented their willingness to apply assertive behaviours. The balance and boundaries between passive, aggressive and assertive behaviour are explored, supporting learners to understand how to avoid negative behaviours when applying assertive approaches.

Managing conflict is covered through practical discussion and application of the Conflict Pyramid and CUDSA models; providing them with a framework within which to practice the application of positive assertive behaviours.

Participants will learn what contributes to different levels of assertiveness and will be able to identify techniques to build their own confidence and capability to be more assertive.
