PD Training’s Assertiveness and Self Confidence Course in New Zealand teaches you how to become more confident and comfortable with personal assertiveness, how to cope with other people's negativity and how to respond when someone else is being overbearing or aggressive towards you.

In this empowering course, you also learn how to approach both difficult topics and topics you’re passionate about with constructive approaches, including how to say “no” without being portrayed as “offensive,” how to use body language effectively, how to express your views and disagreements positively and much more.

You will learn about your own personality type as well as other personality types and how to engage others in an entirely new way that provides a path to better communication and improved self-confidence and assertiveness.
