Assertiveness

The International Adult Literacy and Skills Survey (IALSS) is the Canadian component of the Adult Literacy and Life Skills (ALL) study, which was a joint project of the Government of Canada and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The study was conducted by Statistics Canada.

This document contains facilitation materials for a workshop aimed at helping women build their self-esteem and, in the process, improve their employment prospects.

The material is organized into four themes: self-esteem and the rule of perfection; assertiveness – finding my own voice; taking responsibility – recognizing my personal freedom; and affirmation of personal growth and future attitude.
