Assertiveness Skills for Managers and Supervisors

You can attend FREE with STAR12 membership - Get more info.



Program Description:

Assertiveness isn’t an option for success-minded managers – it’s a must-have skill.

That’s because as a manager, it’s your job to get the best possible results through others day in and day out. To get great results, you’ve got to be authoritative without steamrolling people … make your points powerfully without coming across as pushy … gain cooperation and commitment without being heavy-handed … resolve conflicts without losing your cool.

In other words, to be a great manager today,
you’ve got to be skilled in assertiveness.

Learn to manage with greater confidence and authority
Assertiveness Skills for Managers & Supervisors is a powerful one-day seminar designed to provide you with the communication essentials you need to manage with greater confidence and authority. Through interactive exercises, insightful discussions, and activities, you’ll master people skills and assertive communication techniques guaranteed to give you an edge when you deal with people, problems, and situations that once caused you stress.

Attend, and you’ll learn how to …

  • Speak up assertively without seeming pushy
  • Handle problem employees quickly and effectively
  • Assert your authority without being heavy-handed
  • Get the credit you deserve for your ideas
  • Encourage employees to bring you solutions – not problems
  • Deal firmly and professionally with those who question your authority

Professionally handle problems and problem employees
In just one day of training, you’ll find out how to give criticism that motivates improved performance, how to get the results you expect from employees, and how to implement unpopular policies without losing staff loyalty. You’ll learn how to negotiate better, so you’ll be able to win time, resources, and the backing of upper management for your department.

Plus, this seminar will give you dozens of problem-solving techniques for handling interdepartmental conflicts with tact so that you can reach compromises that are “win-win” solutions for everyone involved. You’ll also build solid strategies for protecting your authority as a manager – without making enemies along the way.

Earn the respect and recognition you deserve
Attend this intensive seminar, apply the powerful assertiveness techniques and communication skills you’ll learn, and you can become the manager higher-ups will turn to whenever they have challenging projects that can’t be trusted to just anyone. You’ll be the “go-to” person whose opinion is not only listened to, but actively sought out. You’ll be admired by employees, colleagues, and top management alike – and you’ll achieve the recognition and respect you deserve.

If you’re serious about dramatically improving your managerial effectiveness, put this seminar on your calendar and enroll right now. We guarantee it’ll be one of the best career decisions you ever make.
