 resist always saying yes when I really want to say
  no?</li>\n 	<li>How do I say what I really think 
 without upsetting someone?</li>\n 	<li>How do I ga
 in more control in situations that are important t
 o me?</li>\n </ul>\n \n <blockquote>\n <p>From thi
 s course\, I will take some very valuable tools aw
 ay and can apply them in my everyday role. The cou
 rse was very relevant\, and at the exact level I n
 eeded.</p>\n </blockquote>\n \n <h3>Objectives</h3
 >\n \n <p>By the end of the training course\, you 
 will:</p>\n \n <ul>\n 	<li>Understand what asserti
 ve behaviour is</li>\n 	<li>Be more aware of ‘diff
