SUMMARY:Assertiveness
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever been in a situation\, perhaps at a business meeting\, where you wanted to say something but didn’t or couldn’t? Or perhaps you have lost your temper or got upset and regretted it afterwards? These are a couple of examples of where assertive communication would have helped. \nAssertion involves standing up for personal rights and expressing thoughts\, feelings and beliefs in direct\, honest and appropriate ways that do not violate another person’s rights. The basic message in assertion is: ‘This is what I think. This is what I feel. This is how I see the situation’. This message is said without dominating\, humiliating or degrading the other person. \nAssertion involves respect\, not deference. Two types of respect are involved in assertion: respect for oneself (expressing one’s needs and defining one’s rights) as well as respect for the other person’s needs and rights. \nThis workshop is about helping you recognise your own type of behaviour and how you come across to others. It will help you to identify situations in which you would like to be less aggressive or less passive and learn how to be assertive in these situations. \nThis training course will show you how to overcome your natural\, instinctive behaviour in situations and learn more effective responses. \nDuration: 1 Day \nWe now deliver this workshop in shorter sessions over a virtual classroom – delivered live from our tutor in 2 half day sessions. \n\n\n\nObjectives: \n\nIdentify assertive\, aggressive and passive behaviour in others.\nIdentify your own behaviour.\nIdentify and use a variety of assertive techniques.\nWhat you will learn:\n\n\nWhat are assertive\, aggressive and passive behaviours?\nWhat affect these behaviours have on you and others?\nUnderstanding our rights and responsibilities.\nRecognising an assertive response.\nThree steps to assertive behaviour.\nSaying ‘no’ without feeling guilty.\nComparing constructive criticism and destructive criticism.\nDealing with criticism assertively.\nWho should attend? \nThis course is designed for people who wish to develop their skills in communicating more assertively and confidently. \nDuration: 1 Day \nWe now deliver this workshop in shorter sessions over a virtual classroom – delivered live from our tutor in 2 half day sessions. \nAvailable on our open schedule timetables in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

SUMMARY:Communication Skills
DESCRIPTION:Effective communication is key in every situation we find ourselves in\, whether it is work related or in our personal life. We all know or work with people\, whom we respect as effective communicators\, but what is it about their behaviour that we aspire to and how do they do it? How is it that they are not only able to express themselves fully but can also get to the heart of what is important to the people around them? \nMost of us communicate well in many situations; however\, occasionally we need a little help. The first step is realising that you can learn new communication skills and that these skills are not solely in the domain of gifted communicators. \nIn which situations would you find it useful to convey yourself as a confident and articulate individual? Whether you want to communicate with more impact or build rapport with a colleague or client; improving your communication skills will help you meet these challenges. \nThis special workshop is ideal for those who need to build effective working relationships or depend on effective communication in critical situations. It will also benefit those who would like to develop their own skills and confidence in communication generally. \nDuration: 1 Day \nWe now deliver this workshop in shorter sessions over a virtual classroom – delivered live from our tutor in 2 half day sessions.
