Recognising assertive, aggressive and passive behaviours

Managing internal dialogue

Delegates will examine how they are able to manage their internal dialogues to enable them to develop self-confidence when faced with difficult situations. Becoming adept at establishing sound inner dialogue will help you if you feel intimidated by the customers or colleagues; when you have to make an immediate statement or response; or if you have an ongoing problem to resolve

Effective communication skills

Delegates will learn how to master the elements of verbal, vocal and visual communication and how to use them to enable you to assertively persuade, influence and control others. We will examine visual and vocal images and how they impact communication.

Questionnaire-Assertiveness style analysis

Each delegate will discover their ‘reactive behavioural style’ and how that can lead to rapport or conflict with other styles. Understanding the personality of others allows us to be able to present our message to them in order to achieve our objectives

Handling conflict

Dealing with assertive, angry and talkative people requires different strategies and techniques. Delegates will learn how to handle difficult situations and maintain control in a calm and professional manner.
