Assertive Behaviour

Difficult People

Spectrum Training Services
There you go again you have said yes to something you know you should have said no to. How did it happen this time?
We can all benefit from an increased awareness of the way we interact with others and the effect of what we say and do. In a healthy and professional workplace we need to be able to negotiate clear boundaries around work demands and pressures and this requires assertive behaviours and positive influence
Course Aim(s)
This workshop is ideally placed for those people who would like to be more assertive with their team members, their colleagues who are in the same peer groups and their senior managers alike. It will address your concerns about not being liked and offending others and enable you to set effective goals, perfect the art of saying no, and remain professional when pressed by other people.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
Define the differences between aggressive, assertive and passive/ submissive behaviour
List the blocks to being assertive and how to overcome them
Self-limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that get in the way of being confident and assertive
Apply Transactional Analysis Techniques
