Because of the volume of handouts provided, it is recommended that you establish a ring binder with cardboard dividers (5). You will be shown how to structure your folder for quick and easy reference for ongoing benefit.

Because you will also have written exercises and your own notes taken in class, it is not practical to keep the handouts online.

  • Jacquie Wise knows how to impart information. Always willing to spend additional time after lectures to clarify any doubtful points or answer questions. I did not expect anything like as much detailed information.
  • Completely held my interest all the way through.  Informative, exceptionally well presented. Topics as advertised were very evenly covered, as well as allowing time for discussion and practical exercises.  The handouts Jacquie provides are fantastic reference materials.
  • You have made me so much more comfortable expressing myself in English. I don’t agonise as much as I used to and my manager is impressed. I work faster and more efficiently.
  • The Case Notes I write now  are clearer and more concise and I feel much more confident
  • I didn’t expect you to be able to cover how to write ministerials as well. Your breadth of knowledge and experience is amazing. Thank you!

Gain the skills and confidence to make the most of social and networking opportunities. I show you clear techniques to help you converse confidently with both friends and new acquaintances and to overcome social anxiety.

People who have been conditioned to succumb to everyone else’s demands, who give in too quickly to pressure from others, and who believe being assertive means becoming less ‘nice’.

  • Understand the fight, flight or freeze responses to fear and which one is yours
  • Recognise that shyness is very common and is actually an appealing characteristic
  • What it takes to be a good conversationalist.

  • The art and etiquette of mingling at a party or business function
  • Change the subject without offending
  • How to interrupt to get a word in
  • End a conversation gracefully
  • Where and how to make new friends

As you apply the principles in your life, you will gradually overcome your shyness and will become a confident conversationalist. It takes constant, small steps to overcome your fears and become the friendly, outgoing person you dream of being.

I have been a psychotherapist in private practice for over 35 years, specialising in self-esteem, confidence and happiness. My warm and lively workshops are designed to transform lives. Having been agonisingly shy myself, I understand the anxiety that makes it so difficult to even think of what needs to be said. The techniques I teach are those I developed to help myself.

Since then I have remembered your courage and have pushed my way through my fears as you did. What a difference! I can’t thank you enough. (RL)
  • I was terrified you would make us speak in front of the whole group, but putting us in twos and threes made the whole thing manageable. I’m so glad I came. Thank you so much. (JC)

  • Jacquie Wise practiced everything she taught.  Positive listening, good communication, attention to problem areas and lots of confidence exuded.  I got a lot out of it.

  • You make all your information relevant to each one of us. The day was very fast and powerful and I have more confidence dealing with my problem people. Thank you for making the information so personal.

  • I was especially impressed with the high level of interaction you managed to include through the day. I know I will be more respected with the way I handle conflict now.

  • The way you developed a ‘shopping list’ with us at the start of the class was great, and you managed to answer every question on the board.  Your management experience is obvious.  I feel stronger as a team leader and have more confidence.

  • I attended your Diplomacy class with one of my staff.  I want to express my gratitude for the difference in his behaviour since he came to this class.

Review of your vision and intentions for this year

    • What do you want this year look like?
    • Is it time to change direction?
    • How to decide
    • Tricks and techniques for success that are right for you
    • What to do when anxiety or overwhelm take over
    • What to do when you’re juggling conflicting priorities
    • Motivation techniques to get your enthusiasm back
    • How to get back on track and stay on track

You will gain clarity and confidence in your decisions, goals and action plans and will make up for lost time if you apply the techniques learnt.

Assertiveness with Difficult People

Life Coaching Course:

Deal constructively with difficult people without losing control. Achieve the best outcome for all concerned whilst retaining mutual respect. Learn how to say no, set boundaries, be diplomatically firm. Start with this course to gain confidence and gain the respect of others.

People who have difficulty setting boundaries and saying no without guilt. Those who give in too quickly to pressure from others, and who believe being assertive means becoming less popular.

  •  The differences between being passive, aggressive and assertive
  • You have been taught to behave in a passive way
  • Hear the stories of others and understand you’re not alone
  • Understand the principles of assertiveness
  • Find out what it takes to become diplomatically firm
  • Deal with bullies and other difficult people
  • Learn ways to handle the difficult situations in your life
  • Develop scripts in class of what to say and role-play how to say it
  • Stand firm and stay calm in the face of conflict and confrontation
  • Deal with criticism and angry people
  • Learn how to ask for what you want

  • Learn how to say no without guilt
  • Turn conflict into constructive situations and relationships

Learn all the techniques you need to be able to stand firm with confidence.

You will have a step-by-step process for handling the various challenging situations of your life.

I don’t think you can teach a subject like Assertiveness unless you’ve experienced the same challenges and struggles yourself.  I haven’t always been assertive.  It was something I had to learn and battle through.  I know how hard it can be. But I also know all the strategies that can help you through, to become the strong and confident person you want to be.

If you have any questions about the coursecall me on 0439 969 081 (7:00am-7:00pm / 7 days a week) or on jacquiewise@wiseways.com.au

Please bring a note pad and pen and your list of questions and have ready the handouts that I’ll send you in advance of the online class.

  • Just a few lines to thank you for giving me so much to think about. Thank you for your insights and clear guidelines. Having scripts of what to say and how to say it is a godsend. (LG)
  • I never realised that we teach others how to treat us. Thanks for the examples you gave and for roleplaying how I should respond to my “bad guys”! It was good to hear everyone else’s stories and struggles and how they could do things differently. (MF)
  • Thank you for helping me understand why I react the way I do. I never realised it and yet it’s so obvious to me now. Thank you for showing me how to break that pattern. (JM)
