Lynn is an excellent trainer who I couldn’t recommend more. She was very patient and attentive to our requirements and we thoroughly enjoyed the 2 day training
-Claire Frascati – 07/07/2025
A really useful and thought provoking day. I was very impressed to receive such a quick response on a Saturday when enquiring about last minute availability on a course. Easy to book on, joining instructions were clear and promptly received, and the trainer David was very knowledgable and approachable. I hope to increase my assertiveness both at work and in my personal life, and found the course to be useful for both. Well presented, interesting and lots of useful tips for anyone wishing to increase their assertiveness.
-Rebecca Roche – 27/06/2025 – Assertiveness Skills
This course is full to the brim with information - make sure you have practiced your note taking skills! Lynn was great; extremely knowledgeable and attentive to what the attendees wanted to get out of the course. We outlined what we wished to gain from the course and by the end of the course all objectives had been worked on - and more. I have found out how I work on a personal level and a professional level, understanding strengths and weaknesses and now I have a road map on what I need to do to improve. I can confidently say I have some new tools for the specific events that I tend to struggle with in the workplace. Just make sure you are clear and concise with your note taking! There is a lot of information. Don't be like me and get home, peruse through your notes, and have no idea why you wrote them down!
-Jake Cox – 27/06/2025 – Assertiveness Skills
I recently attended an assertiveness training course, and honestly, I went in with mixed expectations. On one hand, I was hoping to gain some practical skills to help me communicate more effectively, especially in situations where I tend to clam up or become overly passive. On the other hand, I was a bit skeptical about whether a short course could really make a difference. Overall, I'd say the training was a positive experience. I particularly appreciated the focus on using 'I' statements to express my feelings and needs without sounding accusatory. The role-playing exercises were also incredibly helpful in building my confidence and practicing different scenarios. I especially liked the section on setting boundaries and learning to say no, which is something I've always struggled with. However, I do think the course could have delved deeper into the cultural nuances of assertiveness. What's considered assertive in one context might be seen as aggressive in another, and it would have been helpful to explore those differences.
-Kiran Paik – 09/06/2025 – Assertiveness Skills
Thank you Andrew for the amazing session. It was totally worth it.
-Aniska Dias – 02/06/2025 – Assertiveness Skills

-Craig Withers – 21/02/2025 – Assertiveness Skills
Really great training with a knowledgeable trainer and a small class so could have frank open conversations.
-Jennifer Inglis – 29/01/2025 – Assertiveness Skills
Bust of supplementary knowledge which is worthy to have while growing skills in career. Tips for getting paths easier on day-to-day tasks at work.
-Jagoda Wood – 16/12/2024 – Assertiveness Skills
My team and I embarked on a one-day in-person assertiveness skills training course with Revolution Learning & Development. The trainer, Sue, was fantastic and she drove the conversation in order to focus on all of our pain points and areas of interest. I feel like we all came away feeling more confident in our skills and clear on the next steps we need to take on our assertiveness journey. The skills learnt felt very actionable.
-Daniel Humphrey Rodriguez – 21/11/2024
With the ever changing world and environment, knowledge is power. Revolution learning, and the assertiveness course has allowed me to develop myself and take a closer step towards 'power'. It is great to have opportunities and facilities like these to divulge into other topics of interest, without having to break the bank, or use up years to study toward a particular topic. I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone who's looking to further their learning and understanding, to be brave and take that step - a step, I personally do not regret.
-Nicholas Burn – 22/10/2024 – Assertiveness Skills
-Anthony Hinder – 21/10/2024 – Assertiveness Skills
-Ahmed Tawfik – 17/10/2024 – Assertiveness Skills
What a fantastically personable trainer! Sue's experiences are great examples to learn from, I was concerned that being more assertive would make me seem cold, less passionate about my role but she showed that assertiveness is as much heart as it is head, that you can still be kind to others whilst being kind to yourself (and not walk away from situations feeling you were too aggressive or too passive and kick yourself). Would have Sue again as a trainer in a heartbeat, loved her style of delivery and her openness.
-Kat Durrant – 16/10/2024 – Assertiveness Skills
Great interactive informative course. I have learnt a lot and feel this would be worthwhile course for anyone in any industry.
-Gemma Gallen – 22/08/2024 – Assertiveness Skills
An excellent course where the course trainer listened to each and every one of us and helped us in various situations, I came out feeling more positive and took away a lot from this to take into my new role, thank you!
-Julie Weskin – 26/07/2024 – Assertiveness Skills
I attended the Assertiveness Training in Manchester. It was very useful training for me and the training was informative and fun. He created a relaxed environment and made the training engaging. He asked us questions to make us think, rather than just being talked at. I would definitely recommend this training or any training with David.
-Charlotte Johnson – 26/06/2024 – Assertiveness Skills
The course was really good, there was a pre course questionnaire which allowed the tutor to bring meaningful and pesonalised examples into the session and discussions. The content and preparation was excellent. The tutor was really knowledgeable.
-Ann Gawne – 26/06/2024 – Assertiveness Skills
-Jess Pownall – 06/06/2024 – Assertiveness Skills
The day flew by, Rachel was an excellent tutor. She is very knowledgeable & great at including everyone in the group. We had some interesting discussions lead by Rachel & all had a chance to talk baout personal instances where assertiveness may have been of use. The venue was very well organised, nice and tidy, eccentric / brilliant decor & not to mention the hot buffet which catered for most dietary requirements as far as I could see.

-Ann Njeri – 09/05/2024

I cannot recommend Revolution enough, i have done a few courses and they have been brilliant. Brilliant content by brilliant trainers.
-David Everall – 25/10/2022 – Assertiveness Skills
David delivered our assertiveness course in a friendly and professional manner. The team really enjoyed the approach to the course and left feeling more informed and equipped to deal with difficult situations in the future. Informal conversations were much more effective and beneficial than boring power point slides. Thank you David!
-Sarah Newell – 12/10/2022 – Assertiveness Skills
A good day's session with a small group. Took away some nuggets of information that I can apply to my role!
-Arti Manthena – 23/08/2022 – Assertiveness Skills

-Sarah Cowie – 16/09/2021
This course was great and highlighted small changes that I can make to have a better working relationship with others. David was engaging and provided examples for the majority of scenarios that I put forward and related them to my own experiences. He also gave feedback on how I could have done somethings slightly different which may have led to a different outcome. Overall I really enjoyed the course and feel confident that I can implement these changes going forward.

-Claire Withers – 09/08/2021 – Assertiveness Skills
It was a good learning experience (online). The tutor was very informative and we discussed different issues when we felt unable to say 'no' colleagues. We discussed ways to protect ourselves without being aggressive. How to use words more effectively, to pause.
-Elaine Glenister – 22/10/2020 – Assertiveness Skills
This is a fantastic training session aimed at all levels of employees. It provided strategies and techniques to be more assertive in my role and areas of improvements I could make to allow me to be more assertive. The trainer is excellent and it is a very worthwhile course.
-Claire Hastie – 22/10/2020 – Assertiveness Skills
I would strongly recommend this course to anyone looking to further understand and develop assertiveness skills in both a personal and professional capacity. This course helps build knowledge of the different types of assertiveness and how this can impact effective communication and provides techniques on how to navigate situations where you may be faced with different assertive styles. This course really helped develop my confidence in being more assertive at work and how to appropriately communicate with others.
-Katy Corfield – 31/07/2020 – Assertiveness Skills
I found the trainer and the other Revolution training staff very helpful and informative. The presentation was very detailed and had lots of Psychological approaches and theories of Assertiveness which was very good. It was very difficult for the trainer to fully engage with us as the training was online and he handled it well but if it was a classroom based course I think we would have been more involved and engaged. The only thing I would say is that it would have been better to include more about what assertiveness is. There was lots of theories of behaviour and communication styles but I don't think any of them specifically explained assertiveness. But it was very informative and well delivered and I would definitely use Revolution training again.
-Greg Ead – 02/04/2020 – Assertiveness Skills
A great course, packed full of great tips. This was a first online session for Revolution Learning and it was executed very professionally, with three trainers present which tripled the value in terms of knowledge, experience and tips shared. I'd certainly recommend this course to anyone who wants to communicate with greater impact and effectiveness. Thanks Revolution Learning.
-Lisa Butterworth – 02/04/2020 – Assertiveness Skills
The course was really interesting and full of really useful, practical tips that I can use both in my professional life and in my personal life. Lynne, the trainer, was interested in my work and used examples from my life to help make the content more applicable to me. She focused on areas I felt weakest in, and helped give me assurance areas I felt the least confident. I felt really confident after the course, as I left with practical skills I knew I could translate into actions. I would highly recommend this course.
-Steph – 11/02/2020 – Assertiveness Skills
I found the course very helpful and informative. I have taken a lot of useful information and tools away with me that I can now put into practice.
-Jessika Dalby-Randall – 10/02/2020 – Assertiveness Skills
I was very impressed with the course. It was professional, well organised and the location at the Clayton Hotel was excellent as were the staff. Tracey Mountain, the trainer, was also excellent. Tracey presented the subject in an engaging and knowledgeable way and facilitated interesting group discussions. Overall, I left the course feeling positive and with enhanced life skills.
-Catherine Thomas – 07/02/2020 – Assertiveness Skills
I really enjoyed the Assertiveness course so much. Tracey Mountain made the course interesting and it was great to understand how to be assertive in an work or home environment.
-Rebecca Stone – 06/02/2020 – Assertiveness Skills
Fantastic training, based on the attendees specific challenges and we were provided with lots of practical applications to take away and use. Many thanks
-Bridie Jackson – 13/01/2020 – Assertiveness Skills
Great trainer and great course.
-Vicky Hardwick – 16/12/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
I found the course very useful and Lynn was an excellent trainer - I will hopefully put some of the tips to use in both my work and home life thank you.
-helen lynagh – 12/12/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
Really enjoyed the course, small group which was perfect as it allowed open discussions. Would certainly recommend.
-Katie Lees – 15/11/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was moulded to suit myself and another colleague on the course. I learned a lot about assertiveness and how to use those skills within my work place. I received a very useful hand out booklet which covered all of the things discussed within the course.
-Laura Elliott – 23/09/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
I thoroughly enjoyed my assertiveness skills training. Having had no previous training I was fascinated from start to finish, having not quite realised that 'assertiveness' is a skill we can all learn and not just something we're born with! I have picked up lots of practical tips that I am determined to put into practice. The trainer was excellent and the fact that it was a small group meant I felt extremely comfortable speaking out and was able to fully participate. A good venue too, and the lunch was delicious! I would (and have) highly recommended the course to others.
-Debbie Spauls – 30/08/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
i had a lovely day on the Course, the facilitator was courteous and a pleasure to deal with. My own opinion would be that it would have been great to have gotten some general phrases to be used until the training became more fluid to me. i know there are a few in the exercise book given on the day, but as we didn't really look at it, its not the same trying to go through it myself.
-Margaret Mullins – 07/08/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
Very useful information taken away from this course. The group was very small which meant our trainer Lynne was able to relate the course to our personal experiences which we had explained to her which was extremely helpful. Lots of different styles of learning are used throughout the day which is helpful to suit everyone.
-Stacey – 26/06/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
This was quite possibly one of the most useful courses I've attended in a number of years. I was able to take several practical tools that I learnt from the course that I'll be able to apply next time I need to be assertive. The group was very small so our trainer Lynne was able to tailor the course to our individual needs and circumstances, while also giving us the opportunity to work on theoretical exercises.
-Carys Hedd Paschalis – 09/05/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
Our course with Lyndsey was fantastic. The course was so much more useful and fascinating than I could have imagined; and the trainer Lyndsey tailored it specifically for my needs. I absolutely would recommend this course to anyone wishing to learn useful techniques and methods to be more assertive. Thanks again.
-Louie – 08/05/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
Great atmosphere and both instructors Lynne/Andrew were very engaging and knowledgeable. Would recommend them and the company to others.
-James Bramwell – 08/05/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
I didn't think this course would help as I thought I was already assertive, but I was wrong. The course opened my eyes to what it really meant to be assertive and the tools we looked at were really easy to follow and easy to implement. I've already used some of these with instant results. Lynne the trainer was amazing. The course was really engaging and the fact that there was no PowerPoint was surprising but made the course really engaging. Thanks Lynne and thanks Revolution.
-Alan Bramwell – 01/05/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
Didn't think I needed this course. I was asked to go by my boss but I actually learned a few things and it made me think about how I came across to other people at work. Thank you for your help
-George Pallister – 12/03/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
I had a really good experience on this course as it helped me with a real situation that I was facing with someone at work. The small group meant that we could talk about our own scenarios and I felt really comfortable talking to the trainer about my own. I tried some of the things we discussed and they do seem to be helping. Thank you to Lynne for taking the time to help.
-Sarah Goddard – 24/02/2019 – Assertiveness Skills
I thought the course was excellent. I was looking for some ways to work better with someone at work and the trainer gave me some great advice to help with this. Thank you.
-Tony Ambrose – 24/10/2018 – Assertiveness Skills
I was looking for some tips to help communicate better in meetings. The course gave me lots of useful advice about preparing for discussions and also helping me to see that what I had to say wasn't silly. I also found out how to react more professionally in these situations
-Geraldine Sawyer – 13/02/2018 – Assertiveness Skills
I really enjoyed the course and found the breaking down of the term Assertiveness useful as I now fully understand all of the aspects of Assertiveness.
-B collins, NHS Leicester City – 19/11/2014 – Assertiveness Skills
Enjoyed the course. Very interactive and very interesting. I will use what i have learnt today back in the workplace immediately.

Really interesting and I have learnt new skills on coping with situations that I struggle with at the minute.
-Really interesting – 06/04/2014 – Assertiveness Skills
Very good. One of the best training courses and trainers I’ve been too.
-M Gibbon from EMIS – 21/02/2013 – Assertiveness Skills
Can’t fault the trainer, had in depth knowledge of the subject demonstrated by his ability to handle comments and questions by delegates.
-M George, EMIS – 20/02/2013 – Assertiveness Skills
Great trainer, very informative and I've definitely come away with skills to use daily in both my professional/private life.
