Description

In our world today, coming across as assertive and likable can often feel like an impossible paradox.

Maybe you often avoid conflict, finding yourself looking for solid tools to navigate tricky conversations. Maybe you struggle to set boundaries, say no, have courageous conversations and stand up for yourself with confidence. Or maybe you people experience you as aggressive, self-interested or bullying as you are failing to put the relationship at the center of your interactions.

Whatever your challenge, this user-friendly, engaging course will help you refine the skills you need to be an effective communicator in your life.

This course will help you to become more assertive while continuing to be likable in the face of personal and professional challenges with confidence and ease.

Welcome to How to be Assertive and Likable! In this course, I’ll provide lectures to help you drill in on the dimension you need to develop - fast, so that you can immediately apply it to your work or life. The videos in this course are standalone. That means you don’t have to watch in any particular order, though they build off each other over time. Each lecture is short and focused, so if you’re searching for a specific skill or topic that’s relevant for you, take a look through the tips to find the knowledge you need when you need it.

I created this practical Udemy course for you—filled with my unique insights from coaching leaders at Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits and government agencies around the world for over 10 years. This course is packed with the most practical, real world training that has been requested by my clients again and again, and it’s built specifically to demystify assertiveness and get you acting with more confidence and intentionality today.

This course is built specifically for any professional in any industry at any level who wants to get targeted, quick, practical help to respond with assertiveness and likability in a variety of situations.

Oh and did I mention that we laugh a lot in this course? Failure requires a sense of humor, and if we’re not having fun while we’re practicing, it’s not working.

In this course, we will cover:

  • Setting boundaries to overcoming old patterns of self-sabotage that get in the way of assertiveness

  • Asking for what you want and deliver clear nos

  • Getting more honest by practicing the skill of telling on yourself

  • Delivering hard feedback early and often – with confidence

  • How to interrupt skillfully to build more inclusivity

  • Incorporating vulnerability into your communications

  • Building trust by putting the relationship at the center and saying the hard thing

  • Empathy 101

  • Delivering acknowledgment and appreciation

Each section deepens your ability to train in being likable and assertive in a variety of situations.

In the first section, we’ll tackle the question of how to be more assertive: Key behaviors that will help you set clear boundaries, ask for what you want and deliver hard news -fast- in a variety of situations. The second section will help you cultivate likability by working on skills of empathy, curiosity, vulnerability and acknowledgement to come across as warm and likable with your audience. And finally, we’ll look at bringing these skills together and applying them with groups as well as the dangers of going too far in either direction.

All of these skills help you navigate tricky situations to assert yourself and come across as likable – all with energy and confidence.

So what are you waiting for? Jump in today to see how even one of these lectures can change your life, giving you a competitive edge to help you advance in your job and personal life. I’m thrilled to help guide you as you expand your skills and become more likable and assertive today.
