Benefits

• We are more aware of what what is really important to us (not always what we thought!) and more compassionate with ourselves. We recognize that what we need and want is important, and we're prepared to speak up and ask.
  
  
• We are now able to speak effectively for what we want in ways that significantly increase the willingness of others to support us.
  
  
• We know how to deal with objections from others in ways that build understanding and cooperation. We now have choices other than "giving in" when we hear "no".
  
  
• We know how to deal effectively with emotions - other people's & our own.
  
  
  • When someone else is angry or upset, we no longer feel helpless, frustrated or overwhelmed. We can respond in ways that are effective, supportive, and satisfying for both of us.
    
    
  • When we are upset, we know how to release our own emotions so we can take effective action to address their causes. We no longer have to pay the price for someone else's behaviour (like the guy who cuts us off in traffic) by feeling frustrated, angry or tense for hours.
    
    
• We have a clear and simple process for resolving conflicts that is fast and effective. It uses the challenge of conflict to build understanding and strengthen relationships. It is also comprehensive enough to ensure that we won't be fighting over the same thing tomorrow.
