Description

You CAN tell people what you truly think and feel, and you can set boundaries when you need to. You just need to learn how to communicate assertively to do it effectively.

Assertive communication is a critical skill for emerging leaders, new managers, and people who are more introverted in social situations.

When you know how to communicate assertively, you can say “no” without feeling guilty, set boundaries to protect your time, priorities and goals, articulate requests clearly and confidently, and deal with awkward situations with ease.

Imagine being able to lift the frustration, stress and anxiety you normally feel when you have to stand up for yourself. Imagine life without people walking over you because they respect the boundaries you have set. Imagine people looking at you as a strong, confident person.

All of this is possible and learning how to communicate assertively will help you achieve it.

I’m Kara Ronin and I’m a Best-Selling Udemy Instructor, leadership coach and trainer. I specialise in helping people develop their leadership presence, communication, reputation and relationships.

I’ve helped many of my in-person clients transform their communication and become more assertive, and I’m dedicated to helping you do the same in this video course.

“Kara, Thank you for a very interesting, informative and inspiring Masterclass!” Jeanette, Lawyer

Assertive communication is not about being bossy. It’s about taking control of your communication and your life. It allows you to communicate clearly and honestly to people around you. This in turn helps you to come across as more authentic.

In this course, you will:

  • become more reflective of your communication style and break bad communication habits

  • overcome your fears about being assertive and speaking up honestly

  • know how to get heard in chaotic group situations

  • be able to connect and engage in one-on-one conversations

  • know what body language to use to support your assertive message

  • learn how to set boundaries and say “no” without feeling guilty

  • express your feelings, opinions and wants honestly and clearly

  • make clear requests with your friends, family and work colleagues

  • better manage conflict and difficult conversations

  • become more confident in your decision-making

  • make your job and life less stressful because you know how to protect your time, priorities and goals


You will not be alone on your journey to becoming more assertive. This 3-hour course not only includes 44 high-quality videos where I walk you through practical strategies that I use with my coaching clients. It also includes six coaching worksheets, a case study, quizzes, and conversation transcripts to help you move your assertive communication skills forward.

Assertive communication is a skill that will absolutely help you in your life. Learning how to communicate assertively has helped me immensely in my personal and business life, I know it can help you too.

When you know how to communicate assertively, you will finally be able to start living your life exactly the way you want. You’ll no longer be allowing other people to direct your life or force you into decisions because you don’t know how to say “no”.

This course will empower you to live your life on your terms. I’d be honoured if you joined me on this journey.

I am very passive and passive aggressive and I want to become Assertive to do better at my job and move up in my company. I'm learning a lot on how to better communicate not only at work, but in my personal life. I found this course to be extremely helpful and I've already put some of the skills to practice. I did so well that I am now first in line for a project when it comes available! I never would of been able to do that without this course. Thank you so much, Kara!
