THE ASSERTIVENESS INDIVIDUAL
PROGRAM
Most people can be assertive in some situations, and yet be ineffectual
in others. The Assertiveness Individual Program expands the number of situations in
which you can choose to be assertive. When a person is passive, opportunities are lost and
unpleasant situations are tolerated. In time, bad feelings can build to a point where one
more event can trigger an explosion of resentment that in turn provokes criticism or
rejection. Graduated homework assignments allow participants to apply their newly acquired
skills. The Real Solution Assertiveness Individual Program emphasizes the building of
assertiveness skills, using model presentation, rehearsal, positive feedback, prompting,
and homework assignments.
