Do you automatically submit to your partner's wishes and opinions?
Do you stop yourself asking your boss for a rise or a promotion?
Are you uncomfortable about expressing yourself in a clear, specific way?
Do you defer to others whose style or behaviour is more domineering?
Have you "given in" as far back as you can remember?
Do you get your needs met - always, often, rarely?
Do you recognize these questions arising in your life?
Whatever your individual dilemmas, you will learn practical ideas and
approaches on this workshop which you can then take out into the world.
Assertiveness is the willingness to define yourself - one of the most
challenging yet rewarding and confidence-building steps you can take.
Using visualisations, exercises and the sharing of personal experiences,
the workshop will explore such issues as:
Is it OK to say NO?
Why is it such a challenge for you to make an impact?
Where is the risk in standing your ground?
What habits and patterns damage your self-esteem?
What is it about conflict that can make you contort yourself to avoid it?
Where is your "bottom line"?
