Outcomes |
The aim of this workshop is to help participants to develop their ability to state their views confidently, to listen and inquire into the views of others, and to come up with outcomes which are acceptable to everyone involved. The workshop will also invite participants to consider ways in which they behave unassertively – for instance, being unable to say No or failing to stand up for themselves.
The workshop will be both participative and practical. It will offer some simple frameworks and models to make sense of assertiveness but will be mainly concerned with allowing participants to rehearse and practise conversations which are more assertive.
Participants need to be willing to talk – in an atmosphere of support and confidentiality - about circumstances where they personally find it difficult to behave assertively. They need to think in advance of some situations they would like to explore during the workshop. |
