Assertiveness PM
Event date and time

Event description
Many people do not believe that they have the right to be assertive. Many are highly anxious/fearful about being assertive. Many lack the social skills for effective self-expression
Some people consider assertiveness to be situationally specific: most people can be assertive in some situations, and yet be ineffectual in others. Assertiveness training expands the number of situations in which a person can choose to be assertive.
Training to be more assertive includes building assertive skills, modeling (establishing new behaviors and reducing avoidance behaviors) and rehearsal. The key to becoming more assertive is practice of new behavior patterns.
The aim of this workshop is to learn what assertiveness is and then to practice behaving and communicating more assertively, while reducing communicating in passive and aggressive ways.
People who are unassertive usually have low self-esteem, so it is important to restore some sense of worth back to yourself. Therapy will help you to feel in control, more confident and less anxious. Being assertive helps you to gain more respect from others, satisfy your needs, resolve conflicts, feel better about yourself and achieve your goals.
