<h3>Target Audience: Assistant Professors on the Assistant Professor Development Programme</h3> *Assistant Professors must attend at least three masterclasses of the Assistant Professor Development Programme per year.Your time is limited. Everybody seems to want a bigger slice of your energy and attention - but these resources are already fully spent. Saying yes to an additional request almost certainly requires you to say no so something or someone else and often you are the loser in that scenario.The skill of saying no positively is essential if you want to manage your time and energy well. We need to be clear on why we might want to say “No” and how to do so effectively and respectfully.Or perhaps you're all too familiar with the request "Can you just...?" and that's before you try to maintain friendships, a family or any sort of social life!Assertiveness is about effective communication. This masterclass will allow participants to understand assertive behaviour, to improve their communication skills and have greater self-confidence when dealing with potentially difficult situations. Through group discussion, guided exercises and self-reflection, we will explore ways to communicate in a range of potentially challenging situations at home or at work and participants will develop skills including how to say no positively and to communicate their intentions, clearly and confidently. Participants are asked to reflect on specific situations they have experienced so that they can discuss real and relevant examples during the masterclass. In this masterclass, participants will:• understand differences between assertive, passive and aggressive behaviours• increase their ability to communicate effectively• have verbal and non-verbal skills to build rapport• have strategies to deal with difficult situations• have greater confidence in their own abilities.
