On December 26, 2013 the training for assertiveness and building self-confidence was completed. The same was attended by 9 participants. The training was structured in 7 sessions, each systematically, logically, and functionally developed.

The training was conducted in our training center and those who completed it now know:

• to control their emotions and to express their negative feelings and opinions in a constructive way;
• to have confidence in solving their problems with an outcome in which both sides gain;
• how to create a positive self-image in terms of building their self-confidence;
• how to identify their needs and to achieve the same through the application of the techniques of assertive communication
• how to recognize their own limits and opportunities to say “no” when necessary.

How was the training for the participants?

The participants were relaxed during the training; they shared, actively listened and helped each other by giving different opinions, each of its aspect. During the training, we had a team in which the educators were the guides giving directions, and the rest was a product of the group. At the end of each session, the participants came out smiling and energetic, although the training was held in the afternoons. The participants developed their own self-confidences and learned how to be assertive.

Aneta Spirevska, participant in the training, in the last session stated “It was very pleasant being part of this group and I think we certainly had the honor to be trained by professional trainers. You all a bit of my confidence and I thank you for it.”

The participants were especially positively surprised by the methods and they did not expect to be trained by such warm and friendly trainers. They did not expect of the trainers to offer personal examples and to be that opened. “I am more than satisfied with the overall commitment of the training, the way things were brought closer to us, very professional, but also friendly, an opened approach to all of us!“ – statement by Monika Stojanova.

The training through the prism of the trainers

The trainers were more than satisfied by the group, at some moments they were even fascinated by the composition of the group, joined on one place, in our training centar. The applied methods reached their goal, each participant actively participated in the process and the received positive feedback from the group means a lot to us. The satisfaction of the successful work done was evident and with eagerness, we expect the participants to choose us again, on another topic, more assertive and more self-confident.
