Learning to Say NO! Tips for Learning to Be Assertive

Topic: Learning to Say “No.” Tips for Learning to Be Assertive

Listen to the interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Nikki Martinez discuss the following:

1. Why do some people struggle seemingly saying ‘no’ to everything, while others have no problem saying ‘no,’ to almost everything from very early on with people?
2. You once wrote, “When you decide to become assertive, you must commit to it. To change being passive or walk on.” What did you mean by this?
3. We discuss body language in several of our segments. You note that it is especially important to be assertive, could you say more about that?
4. What is a good/safe seeming way for individuals to start practicing their new skills of assertiveness and setting boundaries such as saying ‘no.’
5. Can you explain “Fogging,” and how individuals can use it to take control back from individuals who are ‘trying to get a reaction’ out of them?
