Introduction

Do you sometimes find it difficult to give your opinion during a meeting, even though you know exactly what you want to say? Or do you notice that you shut down in a discussion, right at the moment you want to be heard? Perhaps you occasionally react too quickly, causing your message to come across less strongly than intended.

Assertiveness is a challenge for many professionals. Some tend to withdraw, while others come on too strongly. In both cases, something is lost: the connection with others and the strength of your own message. Assertive behavior is not about being forceful or reserved, but about communicating clearly, respectfully, and with confidence. And this is something you can learn.

In the ‘Assertive Behavior and Communication’ training program, you develop communicative strength and learn to give your opinion, set boundaries, and exercise influence with more self-confidence. You practice with recognizable real-world situations, so you can apply what you’ve learned directly in your work.

Who is this training for?

The ‘Assertive Behavior and Communication’ training is designed for anyone who wants to stand stronger in conversations, communicate their ideas and interests more clearly, and handle resistance or tension more effectively.

What others are saying...

The examples were clear and concrete, and I liked that a lot of additional, practical information was shared in addition to the slides. The tools were immediately applicable and the group was made up of people with similar challenges, so there was plenty of room to ask questions, practice and even role-play. To others, I would tell you that this is a particularly helpful training course to better understand the behaviors behind assertiveness, the beliefs that can hold you back, and the ways you can become more influential yourself.

The training course was pleasantly concrete, with many clear and bright examples that made the theory immediately tangible. You notice that you can do something with it immediately. It is a practical training course with tools you can use both during and after the sessions. The self-reflection involved is sometimes challenging, but ultimately very valuable.
