Review

Joe Weston has written a very useful book for those activists who believe, as I do, in respect for the humanity of the adversary. The book provides the insights of a keen and sensitive observer of the human condition, but it goes beyond theory and philosophy by providing exercises that integrate respectful practices into daily life.

--James A. Joseph, former U.S. ambassador to South Africa

When I first read the word confrontation in Joe Westons title I believed that it held a negative charge that runs against the grain of my own beliefs. But as I read MASTERING RESPECTFUL CONFRONTATION, I re-framed my view. In fact, I ve been waiting for a book like this to come along. Joe offers simple solutions to complex problems in a way that honors the sacredness of the other. Investing time in these practices leads to improved leadership skills, increased profits, and an inspired, productive work environment.

--Lance Secretan, corporate leadership consultant and author

I have been involved with meditation and other mindfulness practices for over three decades. Yet, in all of my experience, I have never had such focused training on the sometimes harsh realities of human relationships as I had in my training in Respectful Confrontation. What a unique and intensely practical approach to interpersonal communication! My life has been forever changed, and I'm grateful.
