Professional Development: Assertiveness and Imposter Syndrome
Do you sometimes feel frustrated that you are not communicating to others effectively and your views are not taken into account? Why is acting assertively so difficult, and what are the barriers for us?
We will be looking at what we mean by assertive behaviour and how we can recognise and celebrate this. Investigating our own personal barriers to assertive behaviour will allow us to start to identify personal barriers, and considering ‘imposter syndrome’ allow us to start to counter any feelings of this type that we experience.
How can we put our point of view making clear our own views while still respecting the views and needs of others. If you would like to find out more this course is for you.
