It’s hard training new employees, however, it’s even harder to be assertive when training new employees. Before you meet the new ones you are going to have to give yourself an pep talk. You were the one that was given the task of training because you highly know what you are doing. Don’t worry about your qualifications because your boss already thinks you’ll be a good leader to the group. You should also know that it is a great honor for you train your new employees. As for the assertiveness, most people lose assertiveness and control over the group because they lack confidence. Do you think that someone will pay more attention to someone who knows exactly what they are doing or someone who is passive and not sure of themselves? You have to seem like you are in charge. You have to give all the information with authority. That means you have to make sure that everything that you say is said with authority and a tone that is strong and in charge.
If you are trying to be more assertive throughout the orientation with the new employees you will want to start off by leading the group and getting to know each other. Have everyone introduce themselves and then say a little bit of their role with the company. You will also want to start things off with an ice breaker. You will find that if you tell the group a little bit about yourself and how you have become successful within the company, you’ll be able to bond with the group and feel more comfortable showing assertiveness with them. Also, get to know them by asking some questions, small talk. This will allow you to feel more comfortable with the new employees and you’ll find that your assertiveness will grow as you become comfortable.
You should also come to the group with an certain bit of attitude. Like if you find yourself coming into the situation with confidence you will feel a lot better about the situation and you’ll slow the new employees how assertive you truly are. You will want to come into the situation with a lot of confidence because you’ll feel better. Even if you fake it for awhile, you’ll be able to find yourself confident in being the lead role. You should feel honored that you were given the job, and you’ll also find that if you feel like you got this down you’ll be able to become an even better leader. When it comes to talking to groups of people it’s like being around dogs; they can smell your fear. If you come into the group with fear written all over your face, you’ll find that none of the people will respect you.
You may even want to ask your boss for a pep talk. The boss will tell you that you are capable of talking in front of the group and they will also tell you why you make such an great role model for the new employees. Use all of that information for your own good. With the pep talk you should be able to walk out and greet them with confidence. Once you have found your confidence you can show others how assertive you can be. Remember, assertive people are not demanding or seem too proud. Assertive people know exactly what needs to said and done so that the company can progress positively.
There are so many ways that you can generate assertiveness within yourself, however, you should allow others to support you so that you feel more confident and qualified to do the job and do the job right.
