Boost Assertiveness

Why train skills in assertiveness in your leaders?

People often mistake assertiveness for aggression or abrasiveness. In fact, assertiveness is more about clarity. If we think about the phrase ‘to be clear is to be kind’, then we understand the true meaning of assertiveness. We don’t arm ourselves with false confidence and we don’t apologise or dance around issues. It’s about truth, authenticity and dropping the ego to seek the ‘win-win’.

What leaders will explore

  • Four communication styles and ‘win-win’
  • Understanding the role of body language
  • The role of radical candour
  • Understanding emotional agility
  • Assertiveness and the authentic you

What leaders will apply

  • Ability to negotiate ‘win–win’ outcomes
  • Strategies for increasing assertiveness levels
  • Preserving the relationship while still getting
    the message across
  • Regulating techniques for emotions
  • A more authentic communication style

Ben has the ability to go deep quickly and get into the real conversation. LOVE working with Thinka – the passion from the team comes through in every interaction.

Supported by multimedia, attractive takeaway pages and practical strategies for using back on the job – our in-person workshops build a formidable bridge between exploration and application. We have a 10 person minimum for an in person workshop.

    Thinka believes that every learner needs to walk away being able to do something differently once they’ve engaged in a learning solution. The real power is in every individual applying their learning. Our behaviour-based methods, supported by the latest research, are key to making the steps for change relevant and realistic.

    Thinka supports with methods like storytelling, experiential activities or rich questioning, but ultimately, we know the integration between solution and real world is the most crucial part of the learning experience. That is why we look for ways to ‘build a bridge’ between the solution we provide and what happens back out on the job.

    Whether it’s an application template, a set of strategies, some tips or a ‘how to’ model – we work hard to provide every learner with not just information but the tools they need to make a real difference.
