SUMMARY:Assertive Expression- Online, January 2026
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nAn ADRIA Public Offering\n\n\n\nMany people confound assertive expression with being aggressive, but this is not the case. Being assertive is about expressing your rights and needs without hindering the rights and needs of others.\n\n\n\nThe ability to be assertive, for many, takes practice, but it is practice that is well worth it.\n\n\n\nAssertive communication is about respect for yourself and for those around you with whom you communicate – it shows that you believe what you have to say is important, that you trust them enough to tell them what you need, as well as that you trust them to be able to hear what you have to say.\n\n\n\nOBJECTIVES:\n\n\n\nThis course is designed to give you greater confidence and skill in asserting your ideas, thoughts, and needs.\n\n\n\nLearn to identify what you really need and then to ask for it\n\n\n\nLearn the principles and benefits of Assertive Expression\n\n\n\nPractice “I Language”, Behaviour Description, as well as giving and receiving feedback in low-stakes and high stakes situations\n\n\n\nLearn new tools for self-disclosure to balance out conflict conversations and to keep conversations productive\n\n\n\nOUTCOMES:\n\n\n\nStudents will have more skills for using assertive communication effectively and will be more confident using these skills in their daily lives, as well as in conflict.  Students will have opportunities to practice skills in ways that give them flexibility for use in their lives.\n\n\n\nThis course is also available as private training.\n\n\n\nPlease note: Assertive Expression and Defusing Techniques contain similar course content. If you are taking one of these courses, you will likely not need to take the other.\n
