Assertiveness Skills & Dealing with Difficult Situations
Course Description
Some people find it too hard to communicate in an effective, confident, and articulate manner. You may be this type of person; you cannot correct the negative actions of others. Assertion means standing up for what you want. Stating your needs clearly, and being capable of expressing opposition. It requires confidence takes courage. Some of us find it harder than others because of a natural easy-going style and so often opportunities to practice is required. However, the aim is not simply to always gain a ‘win’. The aim should also include the desire and ability to solve the problem and get the best result. Assertion is not synonymous with aggression – so often prevalent as others adopt an ‘I win - you lose’ position to achieve their objectives. The clear communication of ideas, whether to clients, colleagues or to management, is a key factor in determining personal success.
