Moo!  Here's a beautiful cow that looks like she knows what she wants - and she's happy and comfortable asking for it!

This gorgeous cow from the Aran Islands is a pin up for assertiveness - great positive posture, good eye contact, and standing firm.  Hopefully you'll find all this and more (including an Action Map to  take away so you can make changes based on your

Assertiveness 101! Workshop

Assertiveness is the key communication skill for asking for what you want and need whilst respecting yourself and those around you (just like our friendly Aran Island cow on the left who looks like she knows exactly how to do it!).

Respect is the name of the game when it comes to assertiveness - and in this workshop respect is the centre of learning.  You'll be asked to look internally at your own behaviour and habits, to identify where, when, how and why you choose your behaviours at any one moment - whether it be passive, aggressive or assertive.  You'll also gain insight into why and how others use these behaviours, and the best bit is you'll get a tool kit of techniques to facilitate and manage difficult behaviours in both yourself and others.  Woohoo!!

Through a range of fun activities, discussion and quiet reflection time, you'll walk away with a greater understanding of you and your behaviour (as well as those of others), PLUS a practical and positive Action Map to cement your learning and self discoveries.

This is a day of empowerment, assertive skill devleopment, honesty, great sharing, and play!


Who would enjoy it?

This is a great workshop for those who are trying to find some equilibrium in their behaviour and communication.  It's for those who are prone to use either aggressive or passive behaviour in a lot of their daily interactions and would like to learn how to change.  It's for those who want to learn how to ask for what they want while respecting the needs of others and themselves.  Assertiveness 101 is for anyone who wants to learn simple techniques in asking for what they want, saying no, or negotiating a win/win at home, in the workplace or their social world.

What will we cover?

The workshop will be a fluid and organic process driven by the learners - however some of the topics we'll workshop are:
    - The three types of behaviour - passive, aggressive and assertive
    - The fourth behaviour - passive aggressive
    - Observer Mode and Circle of Influence
    - The RESPECT Rule
    - Behaviour motivations and identifiers
    - Managing behaviours in self and others
    - Assertive communication techniques
    - Saying "no"
    - Acceptance Model
    - Four Steps of Managing Conflict (the basics)

What do I need to bring?

Just bring you and your spirit of learning - that's all you're going to need!
