ASSERTIVENESS AND SELF-CONFIDENCE
4 hours (1/2 day)
"Learning is not a spectator sport." – D. Blocher
Self-confidence and assertiveness are two skills that are crucial for success in life. If you don’t feel worthy, and/ or you don’t know how to express your self-worth when communicating with others, life can be very painful. These skills will provide opportunities and benefits to your participants in their professional and personal lives.
The Assertiveness And Self-Confidence workshop will give participants an understanding of what assertiveness and self-confidence each mean (in general and to them personally) and how to develop those feelings in their day-to-day lives. These skills will encompass many aspects of your participant’s lives and have a positive effect on all of them.
