Improving Personal Effectiveness
Ask many capable people to define the difference between assertive and aggressive behaviour and you’ll receive answers that create a curious blurring of the two. And yet they are distinctive and separate: sufficiently distinct to create markedly different levels of success in the workplace. This workshop helps individuals by providing the skills and framework to increase their personal influence and impact at work.
