Speak up, say no and stand your ground — respectfully.
Assertive Communication & Confidence is a complete programme that combines inner confidence work with lots of practice: facts not judgements, clear requests, boundaries, handling pushback and criticism, and confident presence in meetings and online. Built on the VOICE Model.
- Confidence reframe lab for limiting beliefs
- Role plays: late-night requests, credit-takers, pushy clients
- Pushback toolkit: broken record, fogging, negative inquiry
- Meeting simulation with interruptions
Assertive Communication & Confidence Trainer Toolkit by Bodhih Training — built on programmes delivered to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
The workshop is on the calendar. The material isn’t.
Silence
Ideas and concerns go unsaid.
Overload
People can’t say no.
Escalation
Frustration comes out badly.
Picture the evening before your programme.
Participants profile their styles, reframe limiting beliefs, rewrite judgements as facts, practise saying no and handle pushback — leaving with scripts for real conversations.
What you will deliver
A complete design, sequenced and timed — so every session has a purpose and every activity lands.

Walk in with data. Walk out with proof.
Trainers who measure before and after design sharper sessions — and get rebooked. AssessAll, our sister assessment platform, has assessments that sit naturally alongside this programme.
Walk in knowing where every participant starts.
Pair Assertive Communication & Confidence with an AssessAll assessment. Participants take it before the workshop, so you can tune the emphasis to the room; they retake it afterwards, so you can show the client what actually moved. Better-targeted sessions, and evidence that wins the next booking.

Nothing quite fits? Create your own assessment on AssessAll, or ask the AssessAll team to build one around this programme’s objectives for you.
That is the design work already done for you — research, session plans, slides, activities and assessments. Spend it facilitating, selling your next programme, or simply switching off.

The rest of the Bodhih family, when you need it
Make the workshop last beyond the room
A workshop is two days; the behaviour change takes months. Jobulary turns assessment evidence into a focused individual development plan (IDP) — a few quarterly objectives built on real work, re-measured honestly. Give every Assertive Communication & Confidence participant a plan to carry forward.
IDPs are launching soon — the working demo is free to explore now, no sign-up.
