LOCATION:Online via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Assertiveness for the Unassertive\n\n05/19/21 10:00 AM EST\n - 05/19/21 11:00 AM EST\Description:\nAssertiveness – grrrrr! Oh wait, that’s being aggressive! In this webinar, we’ll discuss the differences between being assertive and aggressive, as well as the dangers of being passive. Moving through today’s world, no matter what our position is in the workplace, learning to be assertive can be a valuable skill. But there can definitely be a fine line between that and aggressiveness. And it won’t serve us well to cross that line, just like it typically doesn’t serve us well to be passive.\n \nIn the midst of our daily activities, it’s easy to just let things go, which is sometimes the best choice. But being passive can create big problems – as can being aggressive. We can contribute to tension in our workplace, low morale, a poor public image, and lots of other problem areas we would all rather prevent.\n \nAssertiveness can help us be more confident in our interactions on a daily basis. AND it can relieve some of the stress in our lives. Why not develop this important skill?\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\n	Understand the difference between assertive and aggressive\n	Understand the dangers of being passive\n	Learn to be more confident in your daily interactions\n\nPresenter:\n\nLinda Bruno has been developing and conducting training workshops for libraries and other organizations for more than fifteen years.
