Straight Talking

This program is designed to give your people the confidence they need to get their views and ideas noticed.

Techniques of assertiveness 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 behaviour 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 behaviour doesn’t work in the long run and why it’s important to establish a negotiating position and stick to it.

Particularly suitable for junior management, sales personnel and purchasing staff, this program uses dramatic sequences and subtle humour to deliver its messages in a powerful and convincing fashion.
