The aim
To equip people with the confidence to get their views and ideas noticed.
About the program
Techniques of assertive behavior are shown in action in a series of different settings from a management meeting to a one-to-one conversation between colleagues.
Straight talking shows that the basic rule of assertive behavior is honesty and that it's usually for fear of the response that honesty is avoided. However, this fear is generally over-exaggerated. The video is highly reassuring on this point for anyone who has doubts about volunteering what they think - even when asked to do so.
It also demonstrates why aggressive behavior doesn't work in the long run and why it's important to establish a negotiating position and stick to it.
