Assertive communication

DESCRIPTION

Assertiveness is the ability to express one’s needs and rights, one’s positive or negative feelings, without infringing on the rights and limitations of others; communicating and listening openly, directly and honestly.
With the Assertive Communication course, ASACERT helps analyze and clarify the elements needed to improve assertive communication and techniques of: self-esteem, active listening, risk-taking, expressing constructive criticism, goal setting, and managing positive feedback.
