Programme

During this 2-hour interactive session, you will learn how assertiveness is a skill that strengthens self-esteem and the ability to make our own choices in our personal and professional life.
It helps to manage the anxiety that arises in situations with difficult communication and gives us a technique to communicate without aggression and on an equal footing.  Instead of being governed by the need to please others or being reproachful, assertiveness teaches us to take responsibility for our own feelings and to understand our behavior.
With the mastery of Assertiveness, we will begin to develop a real sense of confidence, respect, and self-esteem, and gain the freedom to be who we truly are, to find our own voice and our own way and thus be in a better position to help our clients achieve the same.

Take Aways:
At the end of the meeting, participants will have gained practical knowledge to further explore the assertiveness techniques and training of Dr. Anne Dickson with whom Jane and Anne-Laure have worked extensively during these past two years to bring her techniques to a wider audience.

Dr Anne Dickson’s reputation as a leading authority on women’s development, assertiveness training and interactive communication was established by her first book A Woman In Your Own Right (Quartet 1982) which was translated into 12 languages, becoming and continuing to be the core textbook for assertiveness trainers throughout the world. In 2022 a new and revised edition was published in celebration of its 40th anniversary. Anne Dickson is a psychologist, counsellor, trainer, and writer with over forty years’ experience of teaching communication skills and management of emotions. She has led training extensively in the UK and internationally – including in Ireland, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Hungary, South Africa and Japan – and for a wide range of private and public groups and organizations.
