Assertiveness Mastery 101

Stand up for yourself and set healthy boundaries without worrying about seeming rude or pushy

Learn how to confidently express your needs and opinions so you can achieve better balance in your relationships, career, and life.

You know you deserve to have needs, desires, and boundaries, but you don’t know how to communicate them effectively

  • You’re certain about what you want out of your relationships, career, and life. But expressing these wishes and desires feels awkward, uncomfortable, and even downright scary.
  • So instead of standing up to your colleague, sharing your thoughts with your partner, or turning down a request from your mom, you freeze, give in, and allow others to tell you what to do. After all, you don’t want to seem rude, self-centered, and pushy.
  • Keeping your mouth shut helps you avoid the stress you’d expect to feel if there’s a conflict. And it protects you from being rejected or criticized for expressing yourself.
  • But it also means that you end up silencing your needs, letting people walk all over you, and saying “yes” when you really want to say “no.”
  • This makes you resent the people in your life you can’t stand up to. But most of all, it leaves you feeling depressed, anxious, or disappointed in yourself for failing to do what you know deep down is right for you.

Learn how to express yourself confidently and comfortably so you can take control of your relationships, career, and life

Receive the personalized support and tools you need to break through limiting beliefs, communicate effectively, and experience greater joy and success in your life.

Assertiveness Mastery 101 Coaching Program

This is exactly where Assertiveness Mastery 101 comes in.

Assertiveness Mastery 101 is an intensive 4-month program that’s fully customized to fit your specific needs and goals. It’s designed to empower you with the skills and confidence you need to express yourself effectively and set healthy boundaries.

If you truly want to take control of your life by communicating your needs more effectively with people, it’s not enough to read a self-help book or attend a few coaching sessions here and there. Instead, mastering assertiveness requires you to commit to learning new skills, practicing these skills, and investing in yourself and your growth.

“By creating better boundaries, expanding my awareness of assertiveness, and practicing assertive listening/communication I learned how to honor and take responsibility for my own needs and desires so I no longer needed to seek for them to be met through external people or circumstances. As a result, every single relationship in my life has drastically improved from work-related relationships, to friends, to family, to my relationship with myself, and even to how I relate to strangers.”  ~ L.H.

Real Transformations

Curious about the results others have achieved with our guidance?

Read about the benefits they’ve experienced:

“For quite awhile, I have been aware that deep down I have been very unhappy – and realized that I am having problems with self-love and self-nurturing. I knew that I needed help to get myself out of the deep hole that I was floundering in. My social worker suggested that I enroll in this class “Compassionate Assertiveness Training”. The instructor for this course was Vera Velini – and she is amazing. She speaks directly to the heart and conveys so much passion and comfort that I was able to open up and relax – and be receptive to all of the lessons that she shared with us. After I left the first class – I was buzzing with excitement and I realized that for the first time in a long time – I had hope. Hope that I could once again love myself – and give myself what I needed to be happy within. I learned that I need to work on eliminating or reducing the stressors in my life in order to become “heart-centered”. By doing this, I can find my inner happiness and I can allow myself to love myself and to make room in my life to do things that bring me true joy and that nurtures my soul. By completing this course, I have set some goals to reduce obstacles and stressors in my life – so that I am no longer overwhelmed by these obstacles and stressors. It won’t happen all at once – but by taking small action steps, I will make progress towards reaching my goals for inner peace and self-love. I highly recommend this class – especially if Vera is the instructor. She is awesome and through her guidance, I now know that I am awesome as well.” ~ Carin Hmieleski

“Through Vera’s assertiveness program I not only was able to break through many limiting beliefs I had let run my life up until that point, I also learned the tools to help me take back my power in places I didn’t even know were possible.”  ~ L.H.

“Vera did a good job showing me how to be me. She is very passionate and interested about her student’s growth. She treats everybody with no judgment. I would take her class again.” ~ Amir Etemadzadeh 

“Taking the assertiveness course was one of the best decisions I’ve made in the past year. Debilitating anxiety and low self-esteem, triggered by a substantial financial loss in my small business due to multiple client non-payment situations, forced me into conflict resolution situations

I learned useful skills and was reminded of techniques I’d forgotten that helped me to ground, relax and communicate better while honoring myself and others. The class was well worth the effort for this alone but I gained so much more value from the course in terms of personal growth and awareness.

The most valuable lesson I learned was to give myself credit for all the things I was already doing well. The course helped me awaken to this self-knowledge and helped to reverse a downward spiral I had fallen into regarding my own worth and confidence. This was huge for me. As my confidence and worth grew, I was able to separate the experience of non-payment from it being a reflection of the value and skills I brought to my clients.

Thank you, Vera, for your exceptional talent, your kindness and incredible ability to hold quiet space for the magic to happen. You truly have found your calling and I am internally grateful for the work you’ve allowed me to do with your guidance.”

“This course has provided me with an understanding of assertiveness and many skills to improve my self-esteem. I feel more confident as a person and stronger to express assertiveness.” ~Brittany McCrory-Contreras

“Very informative course. Lots of information that I can practice often to achieve my goal. The instructor, Vera, is excellent and very welcoming and non-judgmental. She has a way to get you out of your comfort zone, which surprised me that I learned I have the courage to do so.” ~ J.L.
