Assertiveness Training

With so much emphasis on leadership, there is very little emphasis on assertiveness. Unfortunately, even the meekest of us who wish to be leaders need to be able to confidently  point out incongruence, shortcomings, misunderstandings and injustices - to right the ship when things go off course.

Assertiveness is often conflated with aggression; especially by passive or compliant leadership types. It could be said that people who lack assertiveness just don’t understand the subtle differences between assertiveness and aggression; and therefore avoid it. But understanding assertiveness, and executing it are poles apart. There’s an emotional and identity obstacle that occurs prior to action. 

And those willing to learn about assertiveness might read a few books on it, increase their assertiveness by 5% - but not make any marked changes in the relationship between the idea of assertiveness, and the way they perceive themselves. This course provides a safe and risk free environment to practice researched methods of assertiveness in high repetition. This course represents the most reliable and efficient way to incorporate the intelligence of assertiveness into your leadership intelligence stack.
