That’s a key phrase that you can probably google, there are many places that do it.
My course was quite intensive and took a while, but in the early stages it was defining what “assertive” means as opposed to “aggressive” or “passive”. Once you identify what’s different it can be easier to assert yourself.
Another part of the training was to make eye contact with strangers as you walk passed them, this was to get you used to making eye contact with people so that you could make eye contact during conversations comfortably.
It worked for me, I’m probably too assertive now though, as the way confidence (and assertiveness) work is that having more of it makes you have even more of it in a self-fulfilling cycle.
