I was just reading the schedule for NASO's annual meeting - held in Salt Lake City, Utah this year - the author of Verbal Judo will be making a presentation about his techniques during the conference.

I have not read the book but have been taught some of the techniques - do the opposite. As the coach/opponent/threat gets excited talk quieter, calmer, slower.

I would expect it to be a good read.

I went to one of his presentations many years ago. Thompson is an outstanding presenter.
