Asserting Yourself on the Job
     PASSIVE? ASSERTIVE? AGGRESSIVE? Which are you? What are some of
the components of assertive behavior? Why is being assertive
especially important for women? What are some of the blocks to acting
assertively? Every day on our jobs-in dealings with co-workers,
supervisors, those whom we supervise, parents, students, and
others-many occasions arise where assertive behavior could benefit us
in our communications. This workshop will answer your questions about
assertiveness and provide you with opportunities to discuss its
application in the workplace.
