Speaking Up, Showing Up and Being Taken Seriously
£200.00£160.00
Confidence at work is not about being the loudest person in the room; it is about contributing clearly, respectfully and professionally. This one-day course helps early career professionals develop confidence, assertiveness and professional presence. Participants will explore how to speak up in meetings, ask questions, express ideas, raise concerns and manage workplace interactions without becoming passive, defensive or aggressive.
The course introduces practical language for assertive communication, including how to say no, request support, clarify expectations and respond to pressure. Learners will also examine how preparation, body language, tone and behaviour shape professional credibility. Through role practice, discussion and realistic workplace scenarios, participants will build confidence in everyday situations where they may otherwise hold back.
By the end of the course, they will be better equipped to show up with greater confidence, communicate with impact and be taken seriously as capable professionals.
