Contrary to most peoples' understanding, being assertive does not mean being pushy or aggressive.

Assertive people express their feelings and ask for what they want - or say no to what they don't want - in a way that is clear, open and respectful of other people. This in turn ensures healthy, positive relationships - both at work and at home.

This course teaches you the fundamental skills and attitudes you need to enjoy the many benefits of being more assertive.

This course is designed for:

Everyone can benefit from improved communication skills and increased assertiveness, including:

  • Executives and managers wanting good relationships with their employees
  • Supervisors wanting positive relationships with their teams
  • Couples wanting to enjoy the benefits of clear and honest communication
  • Students and young adults wanting to start their adult life with the advantage of good communication skills
  • Parents wanting to model good communication skills to their children
