Stress in the workplace is not always about the workload. The elephant in the room is sometimes, if not often, the intolerable stress that comes from unproductive or difficult or even downright hostile professional relationships. If left to fester, these relationships can lead to resentment, a deep sense of injustice and worst-case scenario, burnout and toxicity in the workplace.

Speaking up may be the only option left to individuals but may be the very last thing a person wants to do, especially if the antagonist is in a senior role. This webinar is aimed at those who want to stand up for themselves or for someone else but are finding this tough for whatever reason.

We'll cover:

• Revise what assertiveness is and isn't
• Review the connection between self-confidence and assertiveness
• Examine tools and strategies for practicing assertive communication in tough situations
