“In business, you can never learn anything more important than communication.” – Max Markson
A common pattern in people’s communication is the lack of awareness and capacity to be assertive. Do you find it difficult to be assertive? Do you find it difficult to say no? Does this result in conflict in your relationships or workplace?
Assertive communication will help you reduce workplace conflict, assist you with the skills to speak up at meetings and deal with difficult conversations. In turn, these skills will assist with strengthening you're self-esteem and reducing your anxiety.
This workshop is designed to help people to communicate assertively and to be comfortable with assertiveness and speaking up confidently.
