How To Talk To Someone You Don't Want To - But Have To

Meet Maui author Wave Bannister, who will be signing his book "How To Talk To Someone You Don't Want To - But Have To." at Mana Foods, Saturday December 17th 10:30am - 1pm.

From Wave:
As a renaissance man who has had many careers and more than 40 jobs—from warehouse worker to office professional, fisherman to trucker, salesman to executive, and musician to therapist—I have discovered some fundamentals to solving confrontations among people from varied backgrounds.

Drawing on these fundamentals, I wrote this book for real people who have to deal with other real people on a day-to-day basis. It provides proven field skills for communication that can be used with a family member who’s upset, a frustrated employee you want something from, and anyone with whom you interact.
Just as computers regularly need to be cleaned of files that slow them down, people need to conduct periodic maintenance checks on themselves before they end up having to see a therapist for expensive repair.
