Assertiveness skills Training video from Total Success Training

Assertion means standing up for what you want. Stating your needs clearly. It means expressing opposition. It means confrontation and it takes courage. Some find it harder than others because of their natural easy-going style and therefore more practice is required. However, the aim should not be just to gain a win. The aim should be to solve the problem and get the best result. Assertion should not be synonymous with aggression because aggressive people adopt a ‘I win — you lose’ mentality to achieve their objectives.

In this video, Warren will discuss:

You need to be assertive when
• Asking someone to do something for you
• You need to tell some to stop something
• You need to challenge someone’s actions
• You need to decline an offer
• When you need to ask someone for a favour
• Delivering bad news
• Your rights are being infringed
• Your opinions are being ignored

He also discusses How to become more assertive through assertion, confrontation, being positive and putting your position forward and clarifying what you want from a situation.
