Assertiveness as a philosophy and technique

We can all benefit from adopting an assertive style in interactions with others, it is a communication philosophy and technique. It involves interacting with others in a confident and persistent manner, particularly when there is an element of conflict present.

There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to how you assert yourself but by increasing self-awareness you can increase your effectiveness in difficult situations.

Release the creators in your workplace

Everyone is capable of creative thinking at some level. However, it is revealing to look closely at the barriers and enablers of creativity and to which ones are relevant. By doing this you can gauge how creative behaviour in your workplace right now, and identify how to make it more creative.

The Personal Creativity Assessment (PCA) allows an individual to quickly determine how they measure up in the realm of creativity. The 62-item assessment correlates to 31 creativity barriers and 31 creativity enablers. The PCA also provides useful instructions on how to overcome or enhance barriers and enablers.

Presented in a non-threatening format, the PCA is an excellent activity to conduct in a workshop or group setting where creativity is an issue.

The SWI does not create self-worth; it confirms what is already true.

Reduce the negative impact that events have on an individual's self-worth levels. This can be achieved by a better understanding of situations and specific approaches for maintaining and increasing self-worth levels. Many organisations and individuals use the Self-Worth Inventory on a regular and planned basis
