A One Day Personal Impact and Assertiveness Training Course
Understanding how you come across to others is at the heart of good communication skills. Being able to choose your response to any given situation rather than adopting a knee jerk reaction gives you more control over the impact you have, and behaving assertively without spilling over into aggression is a great skill to acquire.
But what’s the secret?
Our patterns of behaviour are fairly deep seated so becoming a very assertive person in adult life is difficult if you haven’t had much practice. That’s why we need to start with small steps. And of course one size does not fit all.
So this programme explores how to actively create the impact you choose without needing a personality transplant!
