Through assertiveness training, participants will work on, among other things:
Participants are given concrete tools that can be applied directly when working with colleagues, managers, customers, and other business partners.
The purpose of the course in assertive communication and assertiveness training is to provide employees with the tools to communicate clearly and respectfully—even in situations where it may be difficult to express what they think or need.
Assertive communication is about being able to stand by one’s own opinions, needs, and boundaries without disregarding others. It is a form of communication in which the employee becomes neither passive nor unnecessarily confrontational, but learns to express themselves clearly and constructively.
In this course, participants will therefore work on assertive behavior and on how to maintain a respectful dialogue while being clearer about their own wishes and viewpoints.
The goal is to give employees greater confidence in their communication and strengthen their personal influence in the workplace.
In this course on assertive communication, the instruction alternates between theoretical presentations and practical exercises, during which participants have the opportunity to practice assertiveness based on situations from their own daily work lives.
Topics covered include the difference between passive, aggressive, and assertive behavior, and how the way we communicate affects both the message and our relationships with others.
The course covers, among other things:
The assertiveness training is based on real-life situations, giving participants the opportunity to try out the tools and become more aware of their own communication style.
