6 – 6.30pm Pre-event registration, networking and refreshments

6.30 – 7pm Improve your Wellbeing by Being Assertive

Clients often come to me feeling stressed or anxious or maybe because they are having trouble dealing with a situation. Listening to their stories it frequently becomes apparent that they are behaving passively, or sometimes even aggressively, instead of being assertive.

If you don't know how to be assertive, you may experience:

• Depression: a sense of feeling helpless with no control over your life.

• Resentment: anger at others for taking advantage of you.

• Frustration: why did I let that happen?

• Temper: if you can't express anger appropriately it can build up to temper outbursts.

• Anxiety: you may avoid certain situations which make you feel uncomfortable and you may therefore miss out on activities, job opportunities etc.

• Relationship difficulties: it can be difficult in relationships when individuals can't tell each other what they want and need or how the other person affects them.

• Stress-related problems: stress can have a negative impact on the body, and assertiveness can be a good way of managing stress.

In this interactive session we will discuss passive, aggressive and assertive behaviours and Jane will share with you some key tips for being assertive.
