Event Overview

The ability to express your opinions positively and with confidence is a key skill that can help young professionals to better manage themselves, people and situations. Assertiveness can help with the development of strong work relationships and help you influence others to gain acceptance, agreement, or behavioural change.

Learning how to become assertive at work is crucial to anyone’s career. By having a confident, respectful demeanour that allows you to communicate well with others, it can lead to productive and positive interactions at work which may lead to effective team building, leadership development and collaboration.

Our guest speaker will be confirmed in the following weeks. Sign up to our newsletter for updates.
