Assertiveness Training Course

Unlocking Your Most Impactful Self Through Assertiveness Mastery

All too often professionals sabotage their influence and fulfillment unable to express feelings, set boundaries, negotiate win-win deals, leverage authority or speak truth to power skillfully. They await others affirming their worth rather than boldly inspiring respect while rallying cooperation behind visions.

With the proper science-backed toolkit, anyone can cultivate assertive presence strategically earning allegiance critical for leadership impact. The fundamentals are learnable.

Costs of Under or Over-Assertion

Common behavioral gaps manifest in two extremes:

Under-Assertion

• Poor Self-Advocacy – Allowing others’ priorities to consistently override internal needs breeds resentment, stifles talent and caps leadership scope stuck in underutilization.
• Discounting Expertise – When insight gets dismissed failing to prominently project capabilities, staff suffer frustration while organizations waste intelligence losing competitive edge.
• Conflict Avoidance – Skipping tough conversations may seem peaceful temporarily but festering issues escalate tearing relationships when finally addressed or leading to sudden departures.

Over-Assertion

• Steamrolling Colleagues – Dominating discussions through interrupting or loudness signals disrespect for colleagues shutting down collaborations. Meetings turn counterproductive.
• Destructive Critique – Harshly attacking ideas or character insensitively kills psychological safety preventing innovative thinking. People disengage to avoid further wounds.
• Browbeating Teams – Barking directives fuels anxiety and hostility stifling development. Resentment simmers at being denied autonomy through high-pressure control tactics.

Without developing versatile behavioral repertoires matching situational needs, consequences multiply:

• Nice-nasty polarity erodes trust in peers struggling to discern authentic motives and temperaments behind mixed signals
• 18% of women voluntarily exiting despite high competence cite inability to influence and lead change driving change efforts
• Over 62% of disputes leading to severance tie back to unresolved tension from past unaddressed conflicts
• Colleagues rating higher in assertiveness get promoted over 71% more often

Elevating advocacy abilities pays dividends professionally and personally. The fundamentals apply universally.
