Assertiveness
A practical course for anyone at work on saying what you think and need, honestly, directly and respectfully. Learn to tell assertive behaviour from passive and aggressive habits, use I-statements and the DESC script, say no and make clear requests, speak up in meetings, and respond calmly to feedback and criticism. It is about your own communication; managers handling difficult conversations with their teams should also take Managing Difficult Conversations and Conflict.
