If your about next Friday and can spare a bit of your lunch break please attend as it’s important we show our support- it’s good for our members and the general public.

Women’s Assertiveness
Assertiveness training offers a means of learning an invaluable set of communication skills, which helps us to express our opinions, needs, and feelings honestly and directly. The philosophy behind assertiveness training is expressly non-competitive and great care is taken to enable each participant to strengthen their self-esteem and prevent themselves being manipulated or exploited. The course is delivered in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. You will leave the weekend with some useful techniques to be able to assert yourself in different situations.
“ The training has been really good, I now feel ready to assert myself. Both outside and at work. Thank you!”
