Assertiveness Skills - The Art of Saying No

Assertiveness Training - This document outlines a practical approach Saying No. Without actually using the word you can develop the ability to resist or sidestep being manovered into doing something you really don't want to do.

Why make it easy

Let's say you're a burglar.

There's a row of identical houses and you're thinking of having a go at five of them.

The first house has a Yale lock on the front door.

The second has a Yale and a Chubb lock on the front door.

The third has a Yale and a Chubb lock on the front door and bars on the window.

The fourth has a Yale and a Chubb lock on the front door, bars on the window and burglar alarm.

The fifth has a Yale and a Chubb lock on the front door, bars on the window, a burglar alarm and a Rottweiler.

When you make it easy for other people, they will naturally keep coming back.

By learning more effective ways of saying 'no' you make it harder for others to expect you to do what they want without taking into account what's going on for you.

You become more burglar-proof.
