Webinar: Assertive Speaking Skills for Professionals - How to ask for what you want and get it!
About the event
Being assertive isn't synonymous with being aggressive or unfriendly. It is the ability to express yourself confidently, firmly, fairly, and empathetically.
If assertiveness has never been your strong suit - or if you sometimes wonder if you're being too rigid, soft, or flexible - you'll welcome the training this webinar provides.
Assertive communication is valuable for emerging leaders, new managers, and people who are more introverted in social situations.
When communicating assertively, you can say "no" without feeling guilty, set boundaries to protect your time, priorities, and goals, articulate requests clearly and confidently, and deal with awkward situations easily.
This webinar will show you how to be assertive, stand up for yourself, and become a strong and confident communicator. You will learn how to ask for information without seeming combative and identify and present your options or opinions without arguing positions.
