Assertiveness Training for
Everyone
Assertiveness is a core life skill. The
goal is to stand up for yourself and your
beliefs effectively while retaining respect
for others. We sometimes think that being
accommodating is the only way to be
nice and that standing up for ourselves is
mean. The truth is that when you suppress
your needs, you’re more likely to blurt
your feelings in thoughtless ways or to
act out your feelings indirectly. Besides
preventing others from taking advantage
of you, being your own advocate boosts
your self-esteem. Learn what the difference
is between assertiveness, aggressiveness,
and passivity. Discover a simple formula
for expressing yourself that you can adapt
to different situations. And, in a supportive
atmosphere, fine-tune and practice your
skills through role-play.

The Key to Intimacy
Compassionate Communication
When we connect deeply with the ones we
care about, life is rich and meaningful.
Becoming aware of the habitual ways we
communicate enables us to enhance this
connection and cultivate intimate satisfying
relationships. Drawing from the ground-
breaking communication work of Marshal
Rosenberg, you will learn how to build
empathic bonds by becoming aware of the
needs that drive your actions and the needs
that motivate others. Once you are clear
about the needs that underlie the actions of
the other person, you have a much better
chance of finding satisfying solutions to any
differences. Just understanding each other’s
needs deepens our connections and leads
us to more compassionate interaction. Poet,

David Steele

and taught interpersonal communication
skills for thirty years. He is a co-founder
of Rocky Mountain Compassionate
Communication. These teachings profoundly
transformed his life and he is eager to share
them.
