Course Information

 

1 day course - Saying “No”: being assertive in the workplace

Being assertive is not the same thing as being aggressive. It is possible to stand your ground without the situation deteriorating into a major argument, withdrawing from it, or something much worse. Practitioners and managers working with challenging and demanding service users will find this course useful. Delivered by experienced trainers, including a Master NLP Practitioner, this course explores the reasons for a lack of assertiveness and provides practical tools for dealing with the pressure to say “yes” when really the response should be “no”.

This training is designed to enhance the safety and confidence of staff within health and social care settings. It is suitable for everyone, more especially people delivering personal, social and educational services. 

The course also explores the impact of behaviour upon service users, self, colleagues and agency.

Participants who obtain 60% or more in the course Knowledge Check will be awarded a Certificate of Achievement.

This course will provide evidence toward NV/SVQ awards.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to: 

  • Explain the link between fear, confrontation and lack of assertiveness
  • Describe the impact of saying “yes” when you mean “no” on self, clients, colleagues and agency
  • Identify practical tools for achieving  clearer communication and increased assertiveness
  • Demonstrate an understanding of how communication and assertiveness can improve relationships with clients and colleagues, and reduce work related stress
