Assertiveness - Introduction
This is a 1 day course (day 1 of our 3 day workshop) and therefore is seen as an introduction to the Assertiveness model only. The course allows participants to identify specific areas in life they would like to change. At the end of the training, participants should not consider themselves as assertive, but they will leave with some tools and techniques to start their journey. Some people find this training difficult as it challenges the areas they find hard to confront.
