Assertive Communication Workshop (3 hours)
Do you often replay conversations afterwards, wishing you’d spoken up — or worry that being more direct might upset someone or create tension? This small-group workshop is for people who tend to people-please, avoid conflict, or second-guess themselves, even when they know their needs matter.
The first half of the workshop focuses on understanding what assertiveness is and why it can feel so hard to put into action. We’ll explore common communication patterns, the role of the nervous system in moments of discomfort or conflict, and why many people freeze, over-explain, or stay quiet rather than risk being misunderstood or creating conflict.
After a 30-min break, the second half provides space to apply what you’ve learned. Participants are encouraged (but never required) to bring real-life communication challenges to explore together, practise language, or receive supportive feedback from the group. Listening and reflecting are always valid ways to participate.
This workshop is especially helpful if you:
Struggle to speak up without guilt or over-explaining
Avoid conflict, even when something doesn’t sit right
Second-guess your needs or worry about being “too much”
Leave conversations feeling unheard, resentful, or frustrated with yourself
This is not about becoming confrontational or saying things perfectly. It’s about building communication that feels clearer, steadier, and more self-trusting — in a way that fits your values and your needs.
Limited to 8 participants
Registration is $55 and includes materials and light refreshments.
