Assertiveness isn’t an option for success-minded managers – it’s a must-have skill.

That’s because as a manager, it’s your job to get the best possible results through others day in and day out. To get great results, you’ve got to be authoritative without steamrolling people … make your points powerfully without coming across as pushy … gain cooperation and commitment without being heavy-handed … resolve conflicts without losing your cool.

In other words, to be a great manager today, you’ve got to be skilled in assertiveness.

Learn to manage with greater confidence and authority
Assertiveness Skills for Managers & Supervisors is a powerful one-day seminar designed to provide you with the communication essentials you need to manage with greater confidence and authority. Through interactive exercises, insightful discussions, and activities, you’ll master people skills and assertive communication techniques guaranteed to give you an edge when you deal with people, problems, and situations that once caused you stress.

Attend, and you’ll learn how to …

  • Speak up assertively without seeming pushy
  • Handle problem employees quickly and effectively
  • Assert your authority without being heavy-handed
  • Get the credit you deserve for your ideas
  • Encourage employees to bring you solutions – not problems
  • Deal firmly and professionally with those who question your authority

Professionally handle problems and problem employees
In just one day of training, you’ll find out how to give criticism that motivates improved performance, how to get the results you expect from employees, and how to implement unpopular policies without losing staff loyalty. You’ll learn how to negotiate better, so you’ll be able to win time, resources, and the backing of upper management for your department.

Plus, this seminar will give you dozens of problem-solving techniques for handling interdepartmental conflicts with tact so that you can reach compromises that are “win-win” solutions for everyone involved. You’ll also build solid strategies for protecting your authority as a manager – without making enemies along the way.

Earn the respect and recognition you deserve
Attend this intensive seminar, apply the powerful assertiveness techniques and communication skills you’ll learn, and you can become the manager higher-ups will turn to whenever they have challenging projects that can’t be trusted to just anyone. You’ll be the “go-to” person whose opinion is not only listened to, but actively sought out. You’ll be admired by employees, colleagues, and top management alike – and you’ll achieve the recognition and respect you deserve.

If you’re serious about dramatically improving your managerial effectiveness, put this seminar on your calendar and enroll right now. We guarantee it’ll be one of the best career decisions you ever make.

A ground-breaking professional development seminar designed to address the toughest challenges facing women leaders and supervisors today!

Despite tremendous advances women professionals have experienced over the years, we still find ourselves facing tough challenges. We get mixed messages and mixed reactions as we take on leadership roles. And all too often, we get only mixed results when leading others. This seminar is an incredible leadership training opportunity for women: Leadership & Management for Women. Developed by the National Businesswomen’s Leadership Association, this intensive one-day workshop is designed to build on our inherent talents and strengths to help us become more effective, more confident and more successful.

In this results-focused program, you will learn …

  • Strategies for effective leadership at all levels — in every situation
  • Discipline and feedback skills for improving employee performance
  • Supervision techniques guaranteed to earn you cooperation and respect
  • Assertive communication techniques to ask for what you need directly and tactfully
  • How to sell your ideas in meetings and to the boss
  • Tools for handling confrontation and conflict with ease
  • Motivation strategies for bringing out the best in your employees
  • Lessons and insight from women in top leadership positions

That’s just the beginning! You’ll discover how to disagree firmly but tactfully without backing down. How to effectively delegate. How to turn around specific unwanted employee behaviors. How to keep your ideas from being drowned out by louder male voices in meetings.

What’s more, you’ll develop a Personal Action Plan — a road map to put you on the fast track to achieving your leadership goals. In a relaxed, stress-free environment, you’ll learn shoulder to shoulder with other professional women from your area, networking with leaders you’d never have had the chance to meet otherwise. You’ll leave motivated and energized, armed with must-have leadership tools guaranteed to make a dramatic, immediate impact on your results.

Don’t miss this chance to build your skills fast to become a highly effective, inspiring leader others are eager to follow!
