Assert yourself
This short course looks at how to take an assertive approach to people and situations.
Description
Assertive behaviour enables us to do things like express our opinions, stand up for our rights, ask for what we want and disagree without conflict. It's all about communicating clearly and effectively, and being able to express our own views, needs and rights while at the same time respecting those of others. Illustrated with drama scenarios and commentary from an experienced behavioural psychologist, this short course shows how an assertive approach can help us take charge of our lives and achieve the outcomes that we want in a spirit of collaboration and respect.
