| DESCRIPTION | Assertiveness is respecting yourself, being clear about what you want and taking responsibility for it, while at the same time respecting others. It is a skill, and as such can be practised and learnt. An assertive person can communicate well, and can deal well with different personalities, in different situations. A certain amount of self-confidence is basic to assertiveness. Outcomes: By the end of this workshop, doctoral researchers should be able to: - describe assertive, non-assertive and aggressive behaviours; - distinguish between these behaviours when observed in different contexts; - recognise verbal and non-verbal features of these behaviours; - apply verbal and non-verbal features in becoming more assertive; - demonstrate self-confidence and the ability to communicate assertively. |
