Please click on the sections below to see more detail about this course. Please note that the exact format of the course will be customised in order to focus on delegates’ major assertiveness issues.

This section focuses on understanding each attendees’ particular problems and level of self-confidence.

  • How do you feel your confidence is currently?
  • What are your biggest issues?
  • How have you tried to overcome these issues?
  • Do you know what is behind these issues?

The content of this section will vary depending on the issues that the group have.

It will include a discussion of techniques for dealing with difficult people and situations and role-playing to practise using those techniques.

We’re not prescriptive about this session as everyone has their own assertiveness issues and blocks.

All we know is that you’ll leave us having a detailed understanding of why you’ve failed to deal with your assertiveness issues in the past. You will have learnt a new rigorous approach for the future which you will have ‘taken for a test drive’ during our role play so that you can ‘try it on for size’.

As for the session above, the exact content of this session will vary depending on the issues that delegates bring to the course.

This session will also make use of practical scenarios and role-play to ensure that you understand the techniques we are teaching and can try them out.

This section of the course focuses on the practical implementation of what has been discussed and practised above. Creating a personal action plan ensures that everyone has a very clear:

  • One month goal and plan
  • One year goal and plan

This session also includes a few final tips on ways to boost your self-confidence.
