Top tips to becoming more Assertive?

Assertion means standing up for what you want and stating your needs clearly and calmly. It means expressing your opposition and because that sometimes leads to confrontation it takes courage. Assertiveness is a learned behaviour and some find it harder than others because of their natural easy-going style, therefore more practice is required. However, the aim should not be just to gain a win. The aim should be to put forward your point of view, solve the problem and get the best result. Assertion should not be synonymous with aggression because aggressive people adopt a ‘I win - you lose’ mentality to achieve their objectives.

Click on any of the bullets below to see how our one-day Assertiveness Skills courses will provide delegates with valuable tips, techniques and insights including the following:

This course will allow delegates to develop the self-confidence so that their opinions will no longer go un-noticed in the workplace. Assertiveness training courses will provide delegates with effective tactics to build courage and challenge workplace bullies and handle harassment. Those who have attended the courses have expressed that becoming more assertive at work was made easier once they applied the techniques gained from the training.

Assertiveness does not come naturally to all because we have all learned passive behaviours to stave off confrontational situations. However these behaviours can be unlearned and assertive behaviour used to produce results that benefit both parties. Assertiveness training can help delegates to increase work effectiveness and productivity, achieve greater control of their daily activities and overcome work stressors.

Assertiveness skills, Dealing With Difficult People Stress Management and Time Management are some of the courses trained by Total Success Training in London and throughout the UK. We have over 18 years experience training people on strategies to improve productivity and enhance self development.

Our top tips to becoming assertive

  1. Seek at all times to solve rather than just gain a personal win, by understanding what the other person has said, even if you don't agree with it.

  2. Challenge in a non-aggressive manner by asking for clarification and listen in order to understand.

  3. If you need to assert yourself, do so by talking about your concerns and reasons rather than by accusing others of error or "putting them down" by name calling and other means.

  4. Acknowledge your true feelings to yourself

  5. Be clear, direct and specific in what you say

  6. If necessary, keep repeating your message

  7. Adopt appropriate body language to back up your assertion

  8. Keep calm and stick to the point

  9. Respect the rights of the other person

  10. Ask yourself these questions

  11. How can I express my message more clearly?

  12. How can I be more specific about what I have to say?

  13. Am I likely to have to repeat my message? Will I feel comfortable doing this?

  14. Am I prepared to listen to the other party and at the same time stick to my message?

  15. What body language will I use to back up my message?

 

Assertiveness links

We believe the web is a fantastic place for marketing and promotion but we believe that there should be access to free information which is in abundance on many sites. Total Success have searched the web for free information on assertiveness and you can find these on our assertiveness links page. If you know of other sites which contain relevant information or to inform me that a particular site does no longer exist (many sites come and go at a fast rate on the web), please e-mail us. The criteria for inclusion is a site which has a lot of free information on assertiveness skills and not just companies promoting courses or products.  We'll start off with one of our own:
