DurationCourse Details
Do you or the members of your team sometimes find it difficult to be assertive?
Being assertive is the key to building and maintaining productive relationships with clients, colleagues, line managers and subordinates alike.
All too often, people find it difficult to ask for what they want and end up being submissive, which can have an adverse effect on their morale, performance, respect, credibility, and feelings of self-worth.
At the other end of the spectrum, people can all too easily display aggressive behaviour to get things done or get their own way. Any results achieved usually come at the expense of other people. That does not make for a good working environment or a high performing team.
The key is to therefore find a happy medium and achieve results at no cost to others.

About Us
Oakley Training & Consultancy was founded in Basingstoke, Hampshire, in 2007 after many years of working in the learning and development sector.
We noticed there was a disregard to how people were being taught to deal with their everyday job roles. They were mainly being taught ‘out of a book’ by trainers who did not actually have real life experience.
This got us to thinking about other training courses that were also being taught in this way. After thorough research, we gradually began to add further training courses for businesses that needed practical training solutions for their employees – e.g. for first aid, safety and technical elements, and so their organisation would be fully regulated and compliant.
Our vision is and will always be to ensure that all of our clients have access to the most relevant training courses and practical, solution-based assessment, consultancy and training development services – whenever and wherever they need it.
We fully understand the importance of treating each client as an individual, which is why we consistently respond to delegates individual needs and requirements.
Our team of carefully chosen experts have a tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience in their chosen training field, and they work closely with our clients to enable them to achieve their goals within their required timescales.
We all take great pride in passing our knowledge and enthusiasm onto our course delegates. We believe that by doing this we will become the provider of choice by providing practical based training not on offer anywhere else. By achieving this we will build a sustainable and respected business, which will help businesses become better at what they do.
At Oakley Training & Consultancy, it is our belief everybody should have access to the right training and equipment so that they can cope with any medical emergencies and carry out their role at work safely and efficiently.
With your newfound confidence, you’ll be able to provide ideas and feedback. You’ll be able to be assertive without dominating the team. Healthy self-assurance plays an essential part in being heard in both the workplace and the personal life.
Assertiveness training is about boosting your self-esteem and building personal confidence.
This workshop is designed for leaders at all levels who would benefit from confidence and assertiveness exercises to enhance their practice.
Assertiveness is both an emotion and a communication style. As an emotion, it means having the right level of self-confidence. As a communication style, assertiveness means using the right words, voice tones and body language.
Being assertive can make you feel more confident in your interactions and relationships with others, allow you to effect positive change in your day-to-day life, and could even help you get a pay rise or promotion.1
