As the interview progresses she offers some strong advice on how non-native English speakers can assert themselves more in such situations.

I spoke with Dave about his latest book, “Power of An Hour” which reached #1 on the Amazon book charts last year in July for my PowerUp English website. Though Dave is one of the world’s top experts on the art and science of persuasion (I hope to interview him on that subject sometime in the near future…), this book is about a very simple and practical approach to taking small but highly focused steps for positive change, both professionally and personally. It is a great book, and I think you’ll enjoy this short 10-minute interview.
