Trying to find Personal

Development Training Courses ?

Personal Development Training Courses are a fantastic way to develop many life skills. Assertiveness is an example of a great skill to learn. Being confident to say yes or no to something when it is the true answer for you and feeling comfortable that you can happily live your life making the choices you want to.

Assertiveness is not aggressiveness

Some people think they are being assertive when they are really being aggressive. Assertiveness is not aggression. A simple way of thinking about it is that you have the confidence and ability to say what is right for you or to speak up for yourself.  This can be very difficult for some people.

We often feel that we have to do something that someone asks us to do even if it is not a good thing for us to be doing. Saying yes when we want to say no, or saying no when we want to say yes is not good for anyone. We are allowing ourselves to be controlled by what someone else will think or what is important to someone else, rather then what is right for us.

Unhealthy Relationships

The ironic thing is that you can do something because you think you are pleasing someone else, when in fact they would prefer it if you just said no, rather then say yes to something you didn’t really want to do. It does not make people happy for you to say yes when the true answer is no. They may not like it in the moment but they will have more respect for you in the long run. If you get into these sort of patterns then you may also expect them to say yes to things they don’t really want to do and then get very upset at them if they say no because you would not have done that. It sets up a very unhealthy relationship.

So if you would like to do any of the following we recommend you contact our preferred provider

• Identify and measure how assertive you are in your day-to-day interactions with others.
• Understand the beliefs that underlie assertive behaviour.
• Apply assertive communication skills to a variety of situations in your personal and professional life.
• Discriminate between passive, aggressive and assertive behaviour and understand the consequences of each
• Be able to ask for what you want and say ‘no’ without feeling guilty

Personal Development Training Courses can transform your life in ways that you could never imagine.
