"Introduction to Assertiveness"
Workshop
(For adults 18 and
up)
Saturday, May 19, 2012 2-5pm
When I was 22 years old, my boss registered me
for an expensive training to enhance my job skills. After it was done, he told me I should
pay the frighteningly large bill myself. I was young and intimidated, and he was forceful in his request. Fortunately, I had been studying
assertiveness and was able to use a technique I'd read about that enabled me to calmly reject his repeated request.
No matter what he said, I held my ground using one simple technique. It worked like a charm. Not only did he pay the bill himself (he told me later he was convinced that
I had contacted a lawyer, so confident did I seem in my position), but I was able to go back to my desk and work after our
conversation without the slightest sense of unease or distraction. I didn't need to replay the scene in my head, since I had nothing to regret and no need for second guesses. At the time, I was flabbergasted at the sheer power of simple assertiveness,
and I remain impressed by it to this day. If a frightened young person could use an assertiveness technique so effectively
even under stress, it's a solid technique indeed.
In
my assertiveness training workshop, I teach the same technique I used that day along
with providing other information drawn from the timeless work of Anne Dickson, from my training in psychology, and my own
personal experience. How often do you REGRET the way you handled a conversation?
(The testimonials are
from actual workshop participants.)
"This
class seemed to help me more than my 4-year degree! It was simple and sweet because we could easily apply what we learned
in the classroom, as we did practice the technique several times to get that experience. I find that the technique is easily
implemented in both personal life as well as on the job."
In this interactive 3-hour workshop you will learn
how to ask for what you want and say no:
- clearly
- directly
- firmly
- politely, and
- without apologizing for yourself
"I
wanted to offer you my sincere gratitude for your help in the Assertiveness Workshop, it has really changed my life both personally
and professionally."
Get the tool, learn the technique
You will learn a specific, simple, 3-step technique for holding your ground in every
interaction. You'll also get structured practice time to make sure you know how to use what you've learned.
"The Assertiveness
Workshop was helpful and I enjoyed learning a specific technique when asserting myself. The class was not only informative
but interactive and this helped put the information into practice. I enjoyed asking questions and receiving answers from Tina
and the participants. I would recommend the workshop to others."
You'll get to practice and experience:
- asking for a raise
- saying no to a request for a donation
- dealing with an inconsiderate neighbor
and other common scenarios where assertiveness makes a difference.
"I appreciated
the interactive exercises and appreciated how Tina created a very safe environment."
In addition to the structured exercises, you have the
option of using the technique to work on a specific
situation that calls for assertiveness in your own life, with the support of your classmates.
"Workshop was fun
and informative. Love your sense of humor and the opportunities to practice and apply the technique."

"I found the workshop
very useful. I've been working on applying the concepts I learned into my daily life and I'm already feeling the difference."
... but then again, if you're assertive enough to ask for your money back, you must have learned something! ;)
"I think it was
perfect as is! Thanks for the good info & very effective presentation. I'm definitely setting the intention
to use what I learned."
