A-S-S-E-R-T. FIND OUT WHAT IT MEANS FOR ME!

Assertiveness. What is it really? Why are so many people in talking about it? And, why is it that when some demonstrate assertiveness (or even aggressiveness) it’s okay while for others that same demonstration is perceived as unprofessional and/or excessive?

In this session, we’ll discuss and answer these questions and so many more. We’ll also engage in conversation about how generalizations, stereotypes and cultural identity attributes contribute to how assertiveness is both perceived and received. We’ll even talk about how your personality/temperament preference and life experiences impact how you package your assertiveness.

Come prepared to share in information and insights that are sure to help you address the barriers (self and other-imposed) to assertiveness effectiveness. Leave equipped to consistently, confidently and compassionately be an ‘assertiveness ambassador’. ..boldly going where perhaps you have never gone before.
