Effective Assertive Speaking 

3-hours

Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “I wish I had said something”? Maybe you held back in a meeting, avoided giving feedback, or stayed silent in a situation where your voice truly mattered. These moments can leave us feeling frustrated, unheard, or unsure of how to assert ourselves next time.

The Effective Assertive Speaking Workshop is designed to help individuals speak up with clarity, confidence, and respect. Whether you tend to stay quiet, sometimes come across too strong, or simply want to be more effective when expressing yourself, this workshop offers the tools and support to help you speak your mind professionally and respectfully.

In today’s workplace, communication is a key factor in building strong teams and healthy work relationships. Assertiveness does not mean being pushy or demanding. It means expressing your thoughts, needs, and boundaries in a way that is clear, calm, and considerate. When you learn to do this consistently, you create trust, reduce misunderstandings, and build your personal confidence.

This workshop guides participants through a process of developing assertive communication skills using self-awareness, practical exercises, and supportive feedback. You will learn to recognize your communication style, understand what holds you back, and practice new approaches that allow you to be heard without overstepping or withdrawing.

What You Will Learn

The Effective Assertive Speaking Workshop is centered around building real-life communication habits that you can use in everyday situations. It is not about scripts or memorized lines. It is about developing confidence and self-awareness. During the session, participants will:

• Learn the core principles of assertive communication
• Understand how assertiveness differs from passive or aggressive behavior.
• Reflect on personal communication patterns and challenges.
• Practice how to set boundaries and say no without feeling guilty
• Gain techniques for speaking up in meetings and difficult conversations.
• Learn how to deliver feedback clearly and respectfully.
• Understand the role of tone, body language, and nonverbal cues.

All sessions are interactive and grounded in practical application. You will take part in individual and small group activities, real-world scenarios, and feedback discussions that support learning by doing, not just listening.

Who Should Attend

The Effective Assertive Speaking Workshop is suitable for anyone who wants to improve their communication, especially those who:

• Find it difficult to speak up in meetings or group discussions.
• Have been described as too passive or too aggressive.
• Feel nervous about giving feedback or discussing sensitive topics.
• Want to express their ideas with more confidence and clarity.
• Are in leadership or team roles and want to manage conversations better.

Whether you are just starting your career, returning to work, or in a leadership position, assertive communication can help you feel more in control of your interactions and more confident in your voice.

Why This Workshop Matters

Workplaces grow stronger when people feel heard and respected. Assertive communication helps reduce stress, manage conflict, and create more open dialogue. It is also an important part of building a positive team culture and supporting wellbeing. When people feel they can express themselves without fear or confusion, they are more engaged, creative, and productive.

This workshop is led by a skilled facilitator in a relaxed, supportive environment. You do not need to be confident to attend. You only need a willingness to learn and the curiosity to improve how you connect with others.
