Session 10: Learning to Negotiate

This session furthers the development of participants' assertiveness skills by teaching them how to negotiate. After a review of three key things to do when asserting oneself, group members are introduced to the concepts of compromising and negotiating. They are then provided with a "recipe" for negotiation, and practice this recipe through a role-playing activity.

After completing their skits, group members reflect on the process of negotiation in a guided discussion. The session concludes with a relaxation exercise.
