Assertiveness now and at your new job

Being pro-active means there will be times you will have to take action by causing change rather than only reacting to change when it happens. Assertiveness is one of the most valued characteristics in an employee, trainee, entrepreneur or postdoc. If assertiveness is not a quality that comes naturally to you, you might need some help embracing it and displaying it. In this workshop you will be given advice, tips and tricks, and practice being assertive in various scenarios in order to help you develop your own assertiveness skills and come across as an assertive person.
