The School of Assertiveness

You are the only one who can give yourself permission to take back your time and energy. By speaking your mind and practice self-care. This is, not only though, what we call self-assertiveness.

Assertiveness is sometimes confused with aggressiveness. But indeed it is not. It means honoring our wants and needs, setting boundaries and communicate without fear. An attitude of people-pleasing and the lack of language to communicate what we want can take a toll on our mental wellbeing. This coaching school is designed to prevent that and to coach you how to develop an assertive mindset and communication!

THE SCHOOL OF ASSERTIVENESS MODULES:

Research shows that, if shared, a problem that seem very big can become smaller, this is why the school takes place in the form of online group coaching.

Module 1 on mindset (75 minutes live session): Self-care. It all starts there. We work to increase your ability to love and respect yourself. We explore journaling, we create a routine of checking in with ourselves, we explore our values. You get assigned an accountability buddy in the group.

Module 2 on mindset (75 minutes live session): we continue to work on self-respect by exploring how to see clues of lack of respect from others and self-respect in ourselves. We start exploring some communication techniques. We learn to celebrate and quiet the imposter syndrome.

Module 3 on mindset (75 minutes live session): Learn to make your time important. Boundaries work- how to say NO, doing some social media detox and we learn how some purposeless time gives us less guilt when saying NO.

Module 4- communication (75 minutes live session): And we start with amazing communication! Starting to be assertive with others require some effective baby steps. We learn courage and how confrontation fear is sometimes only based on our assumptions.

Module 5- communication (75 minutes live session): Here we really gain more insights on how to communicate non-violently and reach self-awareness of toxic situations we might be in. Not aggressive, not passive, just assertive!

Module 6 (75 minutes): a specific module on extra assertiveness skills by situation. You can choose one of the following categories within this module:

- Corporate situation: assertive with your manager

- Educational environment or academia: conversation with supervisor or colleagues

- Job interview: more assertive during interviews

- Family and relationship: being assertive with partners and or family

We should all have a voice. And a voice that is heard. When we deny ourselves this opportunity we don't grow and our mental well-being and identity can be compromised. Let's learn the art of assertiveness!
