Developing Assertiveness Skills in the Public Sector
-
I did Report writing course with them and it was truly great and especially, trainers were amazing and informative. I wanted more examples as in few reports and case studies, They could have made things better but rest was superb. It's just a suggestion. We all have a room for improvement. I enjoyed the course overall. I would recommend the same to others.

Working to optimum effectiveness in and around the public sector can benefit by building assertive communication skills and increasing personal confidence. However, we do not always know if our behaviour is assertive. It may be difficult to express our feelings openly and honestly, or to speak up in meetings. Challenging situations might include dealing with conflict and negativity, or saying "yes" when we mean "no". This course deals with the tools required to build awareness and techniques for more positive, constructive communication and relationships.
This course suits anyone working either in or with the public sector who feels they would benefit from communicating more positively and improving their level of self confidence.
