• To explore the positive impact of assertive communication when working with others.
• To describe how communication helped or hindered their problem solving.

Group Size:
Suitable for use with groups of almost any size.

Notes:
If using this exercise with very large groups, you will need volunteers to take part and the remaining participants act as observers.
