Assertiveness Communication for Native Women Workshop

HR Balance LLC is collaborating with Kay Knott to present a series of workshops focusing on the Native American community.  With the intention of incorporating Native cultural aspects into the workshops, our first endeavor is a workshop entitled, Assertiveness Communication Skills for Native Women and Women Working in the Native Community.

This day-long workshop has specific learning outcomes which are designed to achieve a balance for Native women living and working in two worlds (the Native world and non-Native world).  Those learning outcomes include:

• Recognizing the difference between passive, aggressive, and assertive behavior & communication.
• Developing an understanding on how gender and culture can create obstacles toward effective communication.
• Working toward assertive behavior is working toward respect.
• Learning to communicate respectfully – with honor.
• Establishing how to better communicate in the workplace.
• Emphasizing how information and techniques help with communication at home.
• Establishing positive processes to deal with criticism, stress, and disappointment.
• Understanding how saying “No” is a form of respect.
