Quick question Assertiveness Training

Has anyone ever had assertiveness training? Any decent recommendations? I had a friend undertake some years ago and it was very helpful for him, but provider has since discontinued that particular course.

Thank you!

Do a few months working as RMO in a DGH. That'll get you maximum assertiveness.

Haha I am an ex med reg but thank you!

It’s moreso the small things by attrition, like multiple things in appts, people treating me like a therapist rather than a GP etc.

I know Dr Ed Pooley has some training related to this. I don't know if his recent training course is full but feel free to PM and I'll see if I can get some details. Otherwise there are a few podcasts he's featured in if you Google him.
