Coaching and Assertiveness Training

The self-confidence to express yourself clearly and positively to co-workers and partners is good for you, and also good for them. Too often we are constrained by our surroundings and a sensitivity to the needs of others. We may allow ourselves to be led down paths that we do not wish to follow and unable to articulate a preferred direction for fear of creating conflict within the group. We keep things to ourselves to that point where we have no option but to speak our mind, when perhaps we are at our least objective. There is a popular misconception that assertiveness goes hand-in-hand with domineering, destructive behaviours, but nothing could be further from the truth. We have considerable experience in coaching clients in the benefits of assertive interaction; to blend clarity, confidence and consideration for others with a keen awareness of  the positive outcomes for everyone.

Workplace Issues

We spend a great deal of time at work. In the highly-charged environment of the start-up business, work can become our entire life. We have chosen to work together because we respect one another and share a common goal. We are content to work hard, to share the load and acknowledge our individual skills. From time to time there will be friction, and for the most part we work things out. Unfortunately, in some instances, solutions are less simple to find and here is where we can help. As part of our assertiveness programme, we teach clients the positive value of transparent self-expression. In mediating  workplace issues, we bring our clients together and encourage a similar interaction. We can also provide coaching sessions and seminars that help you create and maintain the ideal working environment.
