Assertiveness Skills Training

Toronto Assertiveness Training Workshop

Many job-related frustrations and stresses can be traced to discomfort in handling the following types of situations:

• Making difficult and unpopular requests of others
• Responding to unreasonable demands of others
• Saying no
