Assertiveness for Women
"I really appreciated the way the trainer adapted to meet the needs of those in the room, from that we've built a little group of people keen to stay in touch and coach each other along."
UKRI
Often women struggle with confidence at work, and are not able to appreciate their strengths. This makes is harder for them to behave in a confident and assertive way in the workplace. A lack of confidence can be accentuated by a feeling that they are not being heard at work (or seen), and that others are getting the limelight and taking the credit.
