ASSERTIVE MOTIVATOR – Skill 1 of 4 (WEEK 38) (725 words)
The magic of the Broken Record style is its infuriating uniformity—a uniformity that eventually convinces even the most intransigent opponent that the only way to turn off the record is to work with you rather than resist.

To someone who energetically listens to others, Broken Record can be an invaluable assertion skill in situations where you are "sure you are right." To someone who doesn't listen to others, or who makes no distinction between his own good, fair, and lousy ideas, Broken Record can be merely an excuse for verbal bullying.
