The course content was very relevant and well structured. Flowed extremely well from one topic to the next so that you were left with a coherent series of techniques to apply in both the workplace and wider life. The trainer's presentation was very engaging, well informed and inspiring. A friendly and approachable presenter, who was positive about areas people wanted to develop and focus on and did not make them feel uncomfortable for admitting these weaknesses.

Four ways to approach difficult situations:
- Rationally assertive: the proper method.
- Emotional and angry: the wrong method.
- Emotional and upset: another wrong method.
- Avoidance: another wrong method.
Learn the difference between “objective” and “subjective” language.
To be assertive you should use “behavioural statements” and “objective language”.
The use of the “wrong box / right box” technique.
The difference between “reasons” and “excuses” and what policy you should have to each one
If the other person gives you reasons, then you should negotiate.
If the other person gives you excuses, then you should not negotiate.
Don’t get bogged down talking for too long about the past.
Do take the conversation into the future. Talk about what you want to happen next.
The assertive use of body language
- Posture
- Hand gestures
- Eye contact

'Wrong box / right box'

Notes on the proper use of praise and appreciation.
Praise is powerful: The proper use of praise to reinforce the change.
The absence of praise and appreciation is often the cause of bad feelings.
To get the best from others, you must praise and appreciate them for the behaviours you want to see repeated.
