Confidence & Assertiveness TRAINING (1:1)
Structured, one-to-one training designed to stabilise confidence, self-expression, and assertive behaviour in professional environments.
Particularly suited to professionals whose confidence fluctuates under pressure, authority dynamics, or conflict.
Why Insight Alone Isn’t Enough to act with confidence and assertiveness
Many professionals understand assertiveness techniques and communication principles, yet struggle to apply them consistently when emotional pressure, hierarchy, or conflict is present.
This training focuses on integration, not instruction — supporting behavioural consistency through repetition, feedback, and application within real professional contexts.
The mechanism of change
Change is consolidated through repetition over time, not single exposure.
Confidence and assertive behaviour stabilise through repeated exposure to challenging interactions, emotional regulation, and deliberate pattern interruption. This program develops reliable self-expression so assertiveness remains accessible when stakes are high.
Modular by Design
EMS Development Programs are modular, meaning training progresses through clearly defined behavioural modules rather than a fixed, linear syllabus.
Each module targets a specific confidence or assertiveness capability (e.g. boundary setting, speaking up, managing fear responses, handling disagreement). This allows the work to be:
highly adjustable to individual behavioural patterns
responsive to real professional challenges
paced according to how quickly integration occurs
Flexibility is built without sacrificing structure or developmental rigour.
Flexible Integration Across Programs
Because the programs are modular, bespoke development pathways can integrate elements from other EMS training programs where appropriate (e.g. communication clarity, emotional regulation, presence).
This supports:
complex interpersonal dynamics
leadership and management contexts
continuity of development without restarting training
What This Confidence & Assertiveness Training Develops:
- Confidence foundations → Stabilising confidence under scrutiny
- Fear & self-doubt → Regulating emotional responses during challenge
- Assertive communication → Expressing needs without escalation or withdrawal
- Boundaries → Maintaining clarity without defensiveness
- Difficult conversations → Holding position under disagreement
Who The Confidence & Assertiveness Training Is For
This one-to-one confidence and assertiveness training is designed for professionals who:
struggle to speak up consistently in high-stakes environments
experience confidence collapse under pressure or authority
want assertiveness without aggression
need reliable self-expression across professional contexts
This Is Not Suitable If You Are Looking For
motivational confidence boosts
group workshops
purely mindset-based coaching
surface-level assertiveness techniques

FAQs
Will the Course be Specifically Designed for me?
Yes. While we cover the same modules, we adapt the teaching and training in accordance with your requirements, taking account of individual differences, personal strengths and areas for improvement.
Is this suitable if I’m confident in some situations but not others?
Yes — this training is specifically designed for professionals whose confidence is situational rather than consistent.
Many people feel confident in familiar environments but notice their confidence drops in situations involving authority, conflict, visibility, or emotional pressure. This training focuses on stabilising confidence and assertive behaviour across contexts, so self-expression and decision-making don’t fluctuate based on who you’re speaking to or what’s at stake.
The work is not about increasing confidence in general, but about developing reliable confidence and assertiveness that holds under pressure, even in challenging or unfamiliar situations.
How is this different from other confidence workshops?
Most confidence workshops focus on insight, motivation, or short-term techniques delivered in group settings. While these can feel helpful in the moment, they often don’t translate into consistent behaviour when emotional pressure, authority dynamics, or real consequences are present.
This training is delivered one-to-one and over time, allowing confidence and assertiveness to be integrated rather than introduced. The work focuses on stabilising behaviour through repetition, feedback, and application within your real professional context, rather than teaching techniques in isolation.
The aim is not to boost confidence temporarily, but to develop reliable self-expression and assertive behaviour that holds under pressure, long after the training has finished.
Is this coaching or training?
This is structured one-to-one training, rather than open-ended coaching.
The work follows a defined training framework with specific developmental objectives, while remaining flexible enough to adapt to individual differences. Unlike coaching, which is often exploratory, this training is program-based, focused on building and consolidating specific confidence & assertiveness capabilities over time.
Can I mix and match modules?
Yes. The Personal Development Courses are modular. If there are areas that you’d like to combine we can assist you this. In this case we would ask that you first book the CONFIDENCE BUILDING – TASTER COACHING SESSION. This will allow us to understand which solution is best suited for you and how best to package it.
Do the hourly sessions need to take place at particular intervals?
We do recommend that they take place within a short period time. This is in order to fully take advantage of the compounding effects of the tools you are learning. Attending sessions too far apart makes it easier to forget the new tools you are acquiring. When learning new skills it is vital to apply the intervention protocol which maximises retention and adaptation. Once we receive your booking, we will be in touch to organise the sessions with you in line with optimum schedules for learning. Timeframes for completion of the courses are generally several weeks (Foundation Program) to several months (Consolidation Program).
How quickly will I be able to see the results?
Immediately. The skills you will learn can be applied straight away. So long as you make the minimal effort required to adopt the skills & tools, you will be on the way to making fundamental changes to habits, behaviour and your state of being.
Who will be my tutor?
Currently, as we are in the process of training our first set of gifted coaches, the studio’s founder, Fay Beck, will be conducting the sessions.
Where will the sessions take place?
Training sessions can be conducted online and in-person at our London training studios.
What is the extended integration commitment?
The 15-session program is designed to support meaningful and sustained behavioural change, not short-term insight.
If, by the end of the program, the agreed behavioural outcomes have not stabilised to the level we set together at the outset, we will continue working through additional integration sessions at no extra cost until the work has properly consolidated.
This commitment reflects the depth of the process and the shared responsibility required for change. It applies where the program has been fully engaged with, sessions have been attended and tasks and exercises completed as agreed.
