Assertiveness training is a form of communication skills development that helps individuals express their thoughts, feelings, and needs confidently and respectfully. It teaches techniques to stand up for oneself while also considering the rights and feelings of others. This training can be beneficial in both personal and professional settings. Participants learn to identify passive, aggressive, and assertive behaviors, enabling them to adopt a more assertive approach. Role-playing, feedback, and practice are common methods used in assertiveness training to build confidence and improve interpersonal relationships.
