2)   Demonstrate practical strategies to build confidence and maintain it through adversity

3)   Examine assertiveness as a behaviour that reflects self-confidence

4)   Identify passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, and assertive behaviours and communications styles

5)   Demonstrate practical strategies for assertive communication
