COURSE DESCRIPTION
Practice Speaking Up for Yourself
We’re sure you probably don’t need to think for more than a few seconds to come up with something at work you wish you’d spoken up about! In this one-hour video presentation, we’ll share tools to help veterinary professionals feel comfortable and confident in any conversation – with your boss, your co-workers, and your clients.
Want a raise? More time off? A change in protocol? This session will help attendees gain the confidence to ask for it! We’ll learn the differences between being assertive and being aggressive, study tips for gaining the confidence to speak up about any subject at work, and practice specific ways to deal with common responses that pop up during conflict - like crying, yelling, shutting down, blaming, and story-telling.
Upon viewing this recording and passing a quiz with a score of 70% or better, you’ll earn 1 hour of RACE Approved CE.
