The 2nd edition of the Four Rules of Confrontation includes an added worksheet which walks readers step by step through the process of preparing for a "confrontation."

​

   Dealing with confrontation and communicating differences of opinion can be challenging to say the least. Nearly 2 in 3 adults say uncertainty in the world coupled with rapid lifestyle changes causes them stress. Confronting challenging people and trying to communicate can induce fear of being criticized themselves, offending, fear of being wrong, fear of failing, or making a mistake are all things that hinder our ability to confront challenges successfully. Transform your old patterns of communicating and align your thoughts, non-verbal and verbal language to achieve an assertive style of expressing yourself that honors your stance and the stance of others.

   Ryan Cate Gibson and Thea Harvey- Barratt have adapted, developed and tested the Four Rules of Confrontation for 30 years and distilled them in book form, alongside poignant and pointed stories highlighting their values from clients and friends.​
