Expressing yourself with conviction
Employees at all levels and from all areas.
There are very strong links between assertiveness and self confidence. How you see yourself is closely related to how you present yourself. Being able to communicate assertively and confidently is not only a requirement for success in the workplace, it will also bring you more meaningful relationships outside of the workplace. This two day workshop will improve your ability to communicate with others at all levels of the organization, express your ideas, opinions and feelings with conviction.
