Art Of Assertive Communication (2D)

(AAC/2D)

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

Being assertive is a skill in communicating our opinions, perspectives, thoughts or emotions confidently, without being aggressive or passive. It empowers us to stand up for ourselves and in the process, we are still able to maintain long-term sustainable relationships with people. However, in the real world especially when we are in negotiations or dealing with irate customers, how do we speak up for ourselves and our organization without stepping onto the shoes of the other party and risk the relationship and the business? How do we look a person in the eye and share our views in a confident but non-threatening tone? What does it take to achieve a mutually agreeable outcome without losing our composure and disrespecting the other party?
