Aim
- Supporting people to understand assertion, and its opposites and to develop insight into the situations that hinder their assertion behaviour
- Giving practical models and techniques to develop assertiveness and improve interpersonal skills development, building confidence for enhanced assertion
Process
Participants will join two Teams meetings, and will work with the facilitator as a whole group, as well as in small group or paired discussion. Supporting materials will be available electronically.
Over two 2½ hour sessions we will look at:
- Assertive behaviour and its value to our inter-personal effectiveness
- Opposites of Assertion and the conditions that may trigger non-assertive responses from us
- Understanding ‘Gentle’ and ‘Strong’ assertion and which is our most authentic way of being assertive
- Techniques and practical ideas for managing our emotions, communicating better, and identifying goals for our behaviour
