- Do you wish the people you deal with had a common understanding of what constitutes passive, assertive, aggressive and passive-aggressive behavior, so they would avoid non-assertive behaviors?

Or do you tend to behave aggressively?
- Do you find people seem intimidated by you?
- Do you feel angry, stressed and frustrated a lot?

Every time you have an interaction with another person, you have a choice. You can behave
passively, aggressively or assertively. Assertiveness is a learned communication skill.
Once you have it, there is never any reason to behave outside the assertive zone, unless
you just choose to—which is an assertive right!
This half-day communication skill workshop teaches the differences among assertive,
passive and aggressive behaviors, and why people might behave different ways. It teaches
the
communication skills and techniques of assertive communication and how to keep your behaviors
in the assertive zone. It's full of practice, practice, practice so that you will actually
use
the communication skill after the workshop.
THIS IS A LIFE SKILL!
