    The characteristics of assertiveness

    During times when you are not being assertive, there is usually a reason behind it. By better understanding why you choose a certain approach and what you want to achieve, it becomes easier to choose a style that suits you.

    • Causes of non-assertive behavior.
    • Knowing what you want to achieve.
    • Acceptance of reality.
       

    Working on your assertiveness

    When you hear people talking, it seems like you always have to be assertive. But is that really the case? Is being assertive always the best option? What does it mean for you?

    • Choosing between worrying and letting go.
    • Allowing thoughts and feelings.
    • Being gentle with yourself.
       

    Using your own talents assertively

    Being assertive becomes easier when you leverage the things you are already good at. By discovering and actively utilizing your talents, you create a communication style that aligns with your strengths and increases your chances of success.

    • Working with your talents.
    • Active listening.
    • Speaking up and expressing yourself.
       

    Assertiveness: assignments and challenges

    'Active Listening' and 'Speaking Up' are not the only tools that can help you communicate assertively, confidently, and respectfully. In this section, you will discover additional strategies and techniques that you can immediately put into practice.

    • Knowing and asserting your personal boundaries.
    • Having the courage to say 'no'.
    • Speaking from your own perspective.
    • The power of body language.
       

    Impact on others

    Respectful communication is a two-way process. What do you do when someone tries to walk all over you? How do you avoid doing the same to others? By consciously adjusting and adapting your behavior, you ensure that the interaction with others is pleasant and constructive.    

    • About action and reaction.
    • From intention to impact.
    • Dealing with conflicts.
       

    From dreaming to doing

    You now know how to do it. However, applying and maintaining it in practice is not always easy. In this final part, you will be provided with starting points to ensure that you succeed in being assertive and staying assertive outside the classroom.

    • Self-management.
    • The opportunities and pitfalls of assumptions.
    • Approaching tasks with a relaxed mindset.
       

    Practicing with your own examples

    During the training, you will practice with situations and examples from your own practice. This means that you will receive concrete solutions and tools for all the challenges you are facing.
