SUMMARY

IMPROVEMENT POINTS

The seminar was very well-organized and conducted. I like the contents with many role play practice.

I'd like more time to practice questioning skills

I would strongly recommend others to continue and attend the seminar.

The seminar was very well-organized and conducted. I like the contents with many role play practice.

Finally I was able to learn the assertive skills easily and implement it successfully.

Before, I did not even know what "assertive communication" is, after this training, I have learned a lot of info and it has become very useful.

Not only to understand what assertiveness is but also the advice given from English communication has been very beneficial.

Though it is a bit difficult for me, it is very good that I was able to see my bad points.

I have first learned the importance of assertiveness. Though it will still take time for me to master it, I shall pay attention more about the other side when communicating.
