One-Day Workshop
Presented by HR Proactive Inc.,
with Workshop Leader, Danielle Gault

The assertiveness workshop is composed of three key elements: understanding assertive behaviour, understanding personality diversity and learning problem-solving strategies. These three components provide practical insights and skills for staying assertive when required to get results with and through others.

• Understanding assertive behaviour: Participants analyze how they see their behaviour when dealing with others on projects and/or on teams and how to view these behaviours against a project/team productivity continuum.
  
  
• Personality diversity: This part of the program introduces the idea of personality preferences and how these preferences influence our ability to stay assertive. Participants learn how to manage themselves more effectively by recognizing their own strengths and learning how to deal with their possible blind spots.
  
  
• Problem-solving: Strategies for building an effective workplace are identified through a problem-solving process. This process clarifies and builds on understanding one’s own functioning and that of others. This awareness applies to the dynamics of group relationships and addresses the question, "How do we work together?"

Workshop outcomes
Participants gain an understanding of the fundamental differences in the ways that human beings function. They learn how to strengthen and develop mature, effective patterns for getting results with and through others. They learn to individualize their communication and build stronger relationships. With this understanding, individuals achieve greater productivity by increasing their assertive behaviour when working with and through others.
