Leonardo LtdExcellent. I've attended two courses now. I like Mike's style and the fact he really does care. I enjoy the small class size - the environment is easy to adapt to and participate in. A huge thank you. You've made me feel so much better. I feel I've got my mojo back! 🙂
Jignesh Gohil
Hospital of St John & St ElizabethExcellent course. I understand now what's holding me back from progressing and developing. Provided me with an opportunity to express myself in an environment where others are facing similar obstacles. Thank you Mike for being the catalyst for good things to come.
Phil Thomas
Private IndividualExcellent value. I am leaving with a better understanding of myself and the resources to cope with situations both now and in the future. The course was brilliantly tailored to us as a group & individually.

Zenimax MediaBrilliant. I am definitely going to take into consideration what I've learned on the course and use that in my every day life. I have learned things I didn't know about myself. Mike is a great trainer, made us feel welcome from the start. Definitely helped open my eyes.

Primark StoresVery good. Pushed me out of my comfort zone without feeling too uncomfortable. Realised a lot about myself and that I am the only one holding myself back and only I can fix it! Thank you.

RBSI thought the course was excellent and was delivered in a very engaging and professional way. Trainer customised the course and was very attentive. I loved the practical elements and the feedback.
Tom Edwards
KCI (Acelity)Very broad range of topics and a huge variety of tips and tricks shared. The course was individually tailored to our personal needs and insecurities. I was concerned that my needs might not fall under the scope of the course but that wasn't a problem because Mike adapted perfectly. Very engaging and detailed course.

Private IndividualMax 6 people is ideal. I love the time spent on each person. This is real quality and where change happens; when we had the chance to share and discuss. You have a fantastic approach ie. totally non-judgmental. I really appreciate it.

Farnborough InternationalIt's a great interactive and informative course with Mike exploring and demonstrating valuable tools which can be used in the wider world. The exercises were extremely beneficial and the course content really relevant and coherent. Very beneficial to be part of a small group. Mike is very thorough and supportive throughout the day.
Assertiveness Training Course Overview…
Our assertiveness training courses give delegates the skills to be assertive in work situations. Delegates learn how to use different behaviours to deal assertively with colleagues, managers, suppliers and customers. They discover how to influence people and maintain a positive working relationship, even when someone challenges their opinion or disagrees with them.
Our courses are suitable for all levels of seniority. They are beneficial for anyone who struggles to assert themselves in challenging situations and wants to be more influential in the work environment.

Why Choose Think Confidence…
Small Groups, specialist trainer and FREE post course learning resources
Our Assertiveness trainer Mike McClement, has been a personal development coach (specialising in confidence and assertiveness skills) for over 20 years. He’s the author of the best selling book, Brilliant Self-Confidence. Mike is deeply passionate about sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience; he really does want to help you build your self-confidence. He has helped thousands of people move beyond their comfort zone to create real change in their lives.
We guarantee there will only be 6 people on your course. A small group means a relaxed and informal atmosphere. We want you to feel comfortable and happy. With just 6 people, Mike can get to know you. Although each person’s overall reason for attending will be the same – to be more ‘assertive’, they will have their own personal reasons for coming too. Mike will have time to help you as an individual. This makes a huge difference; people tell us it is one of the main reasons this course is so successful.
All participants on our face-to-face courses receive FREE access to our on-line learning resources. It’s a library jam-packed full of videos, downloads and exercises. What’s more, you can access 8 Personality Tests which give a thorough insight into how you naturally come across and behave in certain situations. Your results will act as a helpful self-improvement tool and a solid cornerstone for personal development.
If you’re not sure if this course is right for you, please call us on 01364 649155 so we can explain the day in more detail. We want you to get the very most from the assertiveness course. It’s important to us that you feel happy and comfortable with your choice.
