PRCA Virtual Classroom Training – Becoming Confident and Assertive

Event Overview

*The course fee advertised includes a 35% discount in order to continue to support businesses during this period of disruption.

Feel more confident when dealing with your clients, managers, and peers because you’ll understand what’s happening when the communication goes off track and you’ll have the tools to get it right.

Saying what you mean, professionally and directly, will start to become second nature, freeing you from anxiety, and enabling you to focus on results and successful working relationships.

How attendees will benefit

Who should attend
This course is aimed at all PR practitioners who would like to improve on their assertiveness skills.
What attendees will learn

• Defining what assertive behaviour is and isn’t
• Recognising the less obvious signs of passive or aggressive behaviour
• The key assertive techniques and how to use them
• Saying ‘no’ without feeling guilty
• Dealing with difficult situations
• Using assertive behaviour to achieve positive outcomes

PRCA Virtual Classroom

The PRCA virtual classroom replicates as close as possible the experience of face to face training. You will see, hear and be able to speak to the trainer, interact with other delegate and complete activities online throughout.

We have redesigned our face to face courses to take advantage of this great and easy to use technology. You will have frequent breaks throughout and activities to complete. Learning from home has never been easier or more effective.

A computer or mobile device with reliable internet access, a comfy chair and a headset if you have one.
