Assertive communication in different sectors
Assertiveness training adds value in any sector. From blue-collar workers, to cleaning assistants, to white-collar workers: all are profiles that can use assertiveness skills in their working relationships. But this does not mean that we treat every sector the same, quite the contrary. Our trainers always provide coaching adapted to the professional environment of your team.
This is how the cooperation looks like this
Preliminary track
The first step is an intake with the organization and employees. Based on this introductory interview, the participants' learning process is already started. In addition, our trainers draw up learning objectives around assertiveness and a learning program that matches the daily reality of the participants. This program is then presented and discussed.
Training
A training at Obelisk is always a combination of experiential learning, social learning and learning from within. A training course in assertive communication can last from half a day to several days and is peppered with realistic cases, assignments, checklists and tools. You can choose a classroom, online or blended format. This is all designed together with you, the client.
Anchoring and follow-up
We suggest some steps by which participants convert the assertive skills learned into practice. For example, in the form of weekly tips, an intervision moment or the follow-up of an action plan.
