We can all benefit from an increased awareness of the way we interact with others and the effect of what we say and do.
 
Aggressive people
take rights for themselves and deny the rights of others while non-assertive people give rights to others without taking them for themselves. Assertive people on the other hand take rights for themselves and give the same rights to others - and one of the
biggest outcomes of being non-assertive is the effect it has on our ability to influence others.

This programme provides a range of real-world, workable techniques for developing an assertive style, respecting the rights of other people while standing up for your own and having a positive influence on others.

Studio-produced audio learning content
   
A powerful set of audio CDs, created and structured by some of the UK’s leading specialists in their fields provide essential information, tips, methods and techniques for building real-world skills. The modular approach allows you to “dip in and out” of the materials and increase retention by learning just a little bit at a time. Careful production then ensures that you can pick-up from where you left off at any given time just by going back to the beginning of any track.
 
Supporting CD-ROM
 
  It’s well known that you can only develop skills in the real-world by taking what you’ve learned and applying it. The supporting CD-ROM which comes with each programme ensures that you always practice the right things. User-friendly on-screen materials allow you to revisit key information whenever it’s convenient to do so, ensuring that you build skills using information which is fresh, rather than based on information you only vaguely remember from a training course you attended months/years ago.
 
Just-in-time cue-cards
 
  It’s said that practice makes perfect but this is only so if you practice the right things. As a carry-everywhere information-resource, your personal cue-card fits neatly into a pocket to serve as a constant reminder of the methods and techniques you’ll have covered in the learning programme. Cue cards help you build reliable skills that achieve results in the real-world because they help you focus on doing the right things - just at the right moment.
