About this listen
In today's cyber-connected world, a critic can attack someone without ever meeting face-to-face. This phenomenon is creating a generation who lack the ability to civilly confront a person with whom they disagree.
The Charm of Confrontation shows how mastering the skill of confrontation - which is simply a situation of opposing parties - can open doors to your success in relationships and your career. Different from most self-help books, The Charm of Confrontation uses my spiritual journey and background in theater to give you tools as a framework for your confrontations. And you don't have to be an actor or a Christian to use these tools. Anyone who wants to get better at confrontation can use them!
People who speak their minds and confront issues head-on are far less likely to lose sleep worrying about what should have been said.

The rules for living in the real world have changed, because the world we live in has changed. Much of the conventional wisdom the last generation has passed on just doesn't apply like it once did. If you want to win, and win big, and, more importantly, keep what you work so hard for, you need a crystal-clear view of how the real world works - not how you wish it worked, but how it actually works.
