About the Site and the man behind it

TheOtherDoor (TOD) portal is a hub for improving your confrontational abilities.  'Confrontational' is big word to describe any situation involves opposing points of view. Whether when negotiating a deal with a business partner, trying to resolve a conflict with a peer or when selling your products to a client you are within a confrontational situation. The same is true when you try to influence your kid to clean up his room or to solve a problem with your spouse. Your daily life, whether on the plant you live in and whether job you have bring about many confrontational situations for you to mange.

TOD was created in order to enhance your confrontational skills – improve your conflict management, negotiation, sales, influencing skills along with giving you guidance about difficult conversations, consensus building and more.

'Armed' with academic background in economics, accountancy, law and philosophy (the later two in Masters Degree) Asaf train, consult and lead consensus building and cooperation enhancement processes in organizations world wide.

Origin of the Name TOD

Think of any confrontational situation, conflict for example, as a long hallway with many doors. Those who are untrained tend to enter the first door they encounter—most often the one marked “compromise.” See, there is always another door – another option to see things, analyze them and based on that, react. TheOtherDoor is a symbol of men's given right: choice. Unfortunately, around confrontational situations, we use born given right quite scarcely.

This is TheOtherDoor's mission: to enhance people's abilities around confrontational situations – their negotiation, conflicts, difficult conversation, and sales – in order to manage the situation as apposed to being managed by it. The 'situation' starts from within.
