About the course: Assertiveness at Work

Do you:
  • Find yourself saying 'yes' to other people's requests when you really want to say 'no?'
  • Bottle up or fail to express your discontent, even if you think it's justified?
  • 'Give in' to others for a while, but eventually become irritable or even angry?

  • Assertiveness is the ability to express yourself and your rights in an open, non-confrontational way.
    Yet assertiveness does not come naturally because we have all learned passive behaviours to stave off confrontation.

    When you train with Activia, we teach you how to apply appropriate assertive communication skills in your day-to-day work situations: you will acquire practical techniques which will increase your effectiveness and productivity, and help you gain control of daily activities.

    Course Aims

    The proper use of assertive behaviour enables people to deal with work colleagues, clients, suppliers and personal contacts in a way that is productive yet maintains and improves relationships. This course has been designed to give delegates the appropriate tools to assert themselves in a wide range of situations at work.

    Who Should Attend?

    Anyone who wants to develop more productive working relationships with colleagues, managers/staff and clients.

    Course Outline

    • Communication – what it is and what are the benefits
    • Barriers to effective communication
    • Match communication methods to the content of the communication
    • Communication and emotion
    • Own personal communication style in business dealings with others
    • Rights and responsibilities
    • Assertive, aggressive and passive behaviours – the car wars exercise
    • 3 steps to assertive behaviour to encourage others to ‘give of their best’ and to produce workable compromises

    • Broken record and self-disclosure techniques
    • Saying no assertively
    • Skill practice in dealing confidently with situations at work that require a degree of assertiveness

    A feature of the workshop is the use of a Knowledge/Skill Checklist - a list of the knowledge and skills being developed.   Delegates rate themselves at the start and finish of the course to establish the extent to which they have benefited.  This also gives the delegate, and their line manager, further analysis of their strengths, highlighting any further development needs

    Learning Outcomes

    • Understand the nature of communication, and the appropriateness of different communication methods
    • Be more aware of one’s communication style, and how to adapt to suit the situation and/or the person
    • Use assertiveness positively in the most appropriate situations at work
    • Produce more effective working relationships at work that promotes ‘win-win’
