Assertiveness Communication to be the Topice of the June Meeting.
President Diane Souza, CAP, recently attend a day long workshop on Assertiveness Communication. She will share what she learned with us at our June 18th meeting.
Assertiveness communication is more than a style of communication. It's an effective approach that enables you to gain more confidence, respect and decisiveness. This program will help you meet the many challenges you face every day. You will learn how to "ask for what you want and get it" while maintaining or earning respect from those around you. This program can mark a turning point in your life!
Benefits of Using Assertive Speech and Behaviors:
• Know and measure your own assertiveness quotient
• Develop the ability to see the distinctions between assertive, aggressive and passive behavior
• Identify how assertiveness can be lost through the use of language and non-verbal's
• Learn how to express feelings and make requests in a safe assertive manner
• Discover when it's appropriate not to be assertive
• Apply and practice your assertive behavior skills in a variety of relevant on-the-job and real life situations.
This will also be our chapter’s annual meeting. Reports from the officers and committee chairs will be distributed, the proposed budget for 2012-2013 will be presented, and officers will be elected and installed.
Our meeting will be held at the Hearth & Kettle in Attleboro. To register for this meeting or for more information about Crossroads, contact President Souza at souza@masstech.org or Membership Chair Marie (Gerry) Brunell, CAP-OM at mgbrunell@comcast.net
