Tongue Fu!® Deal with Difficult Individuals Without Becoming One Yourself
Saturday, February 22
3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

(Ticket Required)

Would you like to learn how to communicate with staff and other professional colleagues, as well as family members so that they like, respect, and trust you?

Tongue Fu (martial arts for the mind and mouth) is a step-by-step process that explains how to "get along with just about anyone, anytime, anywhere," says Jack "Chicken Soup" Canfield. You'll learn dozens of real-life responses to situations you face every day including how to "be nice in a not-so-nice world," as Successful Meetings said in its review of Tongue Fu. Speaker and author of Tongue Fu, Sam Horn, won't waste time on theories. In this unique presentation, you'll discover how to:

  • Instantly end arguments


  • Persuade other people to stop, listen, and see your point of view


  • Keep from saying something you regret with Tongue Glue!


  • Find solutions instead of fault


  • Use Fun Fu! to handle hassles with humor vs. harsh words


  • Keep your cool even when others aren't


  • Choose your battles so you know when to speak up and when to be silent


  • Communicate with words that turn resentment into rapport.


If you would like to know how to deal with difficult people without becoming one yourself, then Tongue Fu is for you.

The forum is open to all, regardless of gender. Afternoon refreshments will be served. (Cost is $15.00. Please refer to the Registration and Ticketed Events Payment Form.)
