Step by step

How it goes

  1. 01

    Separate facts from judgement 8 min

    Rewrite loaded statements as specific observable facts.

  2. 02

    Build an assertive request 8 min

    State impact, need and a clear realistic request.

  3. 03

    Prepare for responses 8 min

    Practise calm replies to agreement, hesitation and disagreement.

Listen to your body: stop if anything hurts, and check with a doctor if you have a health condition.
