Assertiveness Training Part 2

We had our second session of the assertiveness training.
I still don't know what to say about it. Our HR manager, who leads this training, has a great perspective on how your beliefs influence your behaviour and how to form you believes to something new to let you be more assertive.
For example, I have troubles with standing up to my superiors, because I fear for my job and because I think you have to respect them and you have to do what they say. Apparently my values are respect and acknowledgement and my believes of respecting hierarchy are wrong in a way.
I will have to train on forming these believes to something realistic.
Heavy shit for a Thursday night, but very informative!

Assertiveness Training: Part 1

The company I work for organizes a lot of knowledge sharing sessions with a diversity of subjects. Sometimes technical for our consultants, sometimes sessions where anyone can benefit from. 

I joined a two part session about assertiveness today and I was stunned on how deep this goes. All the way to your feelings, your beliefs and your values. 

I have to get my head around it before i can tell you more about it. But I'm intrigued, that I can tell you. Next week's Thursday is the follow-up session. More on my personal difficulties then ;-) !

Have a good night!
