What is this workshop about?
How many times have we struggled to be authentic and transparent when communicating our opinions, intentions, or emotions? Adopting an assertive communication style isn't always easy; it requires significant effort and energy, along with self-awareness and a balance between expressing yourself and respecting others. However, the advantages of assertive communication are countless!
In this workshop, we will begin by analyzing the importance of communication, differentiating between assertive and non-assertive behaviors, and exploring how we learn to behave non-assertively. We will also discuss how to assertively defend our rights without infringing on the rights of others and provide a series of practical strategies for promoting assertiveness.
