Assertiveness know your profile
Topic: Applied Personal Development
Tense or stressful situations affect our behavior, making us lose our composure and, in some cases, respond inappropriately. This, in turn, can cause us to lose face and credibility.
In this 2-part module, we will see how to remain composed and be “assertive”, i.e. both firm and diplomatic. We will also learn how to avoid behaviors that make us less effective. You will carry out a self-assessment to learn about your own tendencies and understand how to switch from one form of sanctuary behavior to another.
