The examples were clear and concrete, and I appreciated that, in addition to the slides, a lot of extra, practical information was shared . The tools were immediately applicable, and the group consisted of people facing similar challenges. This created plenty of opportunities to ask questions, practice and even do role-plays. I would tell others that this is an exceptionally helpful training program for better understanding the behaviors that underlie assertiveness, the beliefs that can hold you back, and the ways in which you can exert more influence yourself.

The training program was pleasantly concrete, with many clear and straightforward examples that immediately brought the theory to life. You realize right away that you can put it to use. It’s a practical training program that provides tools you can apply both during and after the sessions. The self-reflection involved can be challenging at times, but ultimately it’s very valuable.
