Boundary Boss -Training Course in Assertive Communication in Norway (Fully Funded)

Are you searching for a professional training course to develop competencies and having healthy personal and professional relationships? if so, then this is an ideal opportunity for you to apply for the training course "Boundary Boss" a training course in assertive communication in Balestrand, Norway. 

About the training course

In human-centred fields, such as youth work and generally non-formal learning processes, we noticed a tendency to put other people's (colleagues, beneficiaries, participants, partners) needs above their own, over compromising, avoiding confrontations, not providing honest feedback, fear of hurting people feelings or damaging relationships etc. This often leads to frustrations, disappointments, burn-outs, irritations, stress, tensions, problematic relationships, low self-esteem, unbalanced work relationships and generally to a work environment which is taking more energy than giving to the people involved.

"Boundary Boss" is an Erasmus+ training course for youth workers, trainers, mentors, and facilitators aiming to develop their competencies in using assertive communication to foster authentic, honest, ethical, sustainable and healthy personal and professional relationships.

The training will cover the fundamentals of different communication styles, using relevant case studies and examples, as well as hands-on sessions and simulations. The program will take a highly practical approach, aiming to empower youth workers to communicate assertively with confidence in both their professional and personal lives.
