A thorough introduction to assertiveness at work. Raises awareness of assertive, non-assertive and aggressive behaviour, stimulates discussion and gives confidence. Highly enjoyable, non-threatening approach.
Table-top boards provide a structure for taking it in turn to pick up three types of card: True or False cards contain statements about assertiveness for group consideration. What People Say cards are quotations from work scenarios to evaluate and categorise. Group Task cards challenge and develop ideas.
All your responses are noted on a special handout, for reference at the Debrief. In just 60 minutes a wide range of assertiveness issues are presented for groups to consider, exchange ideas and build understanding.

Allan Baines, Skill Development Manager, Rentokil Initial
I used The Assertiveness Game as an add-on to our Assertiveness Training Course, which is part of our Skills Diploma Training Programme with Assistant Managers & Supervisors. It highlighted different styles of behaviour and how to react to them and identify with them.
Very interactive. Kept the students involved and interested. Still talking about the course some days after it. Very good quality and value. Word soon got around about the game. Looking forward to doing some in depth evaluation of the game, I feel it got the message across quickly. And it was easy to add on to an in house already recognised programme.
Patsy McGill, People Development, National ExpressI used The Apraisal Game in teamwork, training & building with Contact Centre Team Managers. One Team Manager began to realise that her style was quite aggressive and it allowed others to say so in a non-confrontational way.
Fun, interactive, thought-provoking. We are now using this activity with all of our CL Advisors on their “Have Your Say Day”.

We use this activity for assertiveness training and it is good for highlighting the different types of assertiveness. It is excellent - good fun and learning at the same time.
