Assertiveness Training in Birmingham and the West Midlands

Assertiveness is a crucial skill in both professional and personal life — yet it’s one that many people struggle to master. Whether you find yourself saying yes too often, avoiding confrontation, or struggling to express your needs, assertiveness training can make a transformational difference.

At Hans Rostrup, we deliver assertiveness training in Birmingham designed to help individuals find their voice, set healthy boundaries, and communicate with clarity and confidence.

Backed by over 35 years of experience and a client list that includes Google, GSK, and BT, Hans brings expert facilitation and proven methods to empower people across a range of sectors.

Why Assertiveness Matters

Being assertive means expressing your thoughts, needs, and beliefs in a respectful and confident way. It’s not about being aggressive — it’s about being honest, direct, and fair. Assertiveness helps people:

  • Say no without guilt
  • Handle difficult conversations effectively
  • Set clear boundaries
  • Give and receive feedback constructively
  • Reduce workplace stress and improve well-being

Whether you’re managing a team, dealing with customers, or navigating complex stakeholder relationships, assertiveness is key to professional success.

  • Recognising Triggers: Identify what stops you from being assertive and how to overcome it
