Getting to Zero
Jayson Gaddis is a global authority on interpersonal conflict and connection. He is an author, podcaster, speaker, and "personal trainer for relationships." He became weary of lamenting that street-level relationship skills are not taught in schools, so he started The Relationship School, an impact-driven organization dedicated to assisting individuals, couples, and teams in resolving their disagreements in order to have unbreakable relationships. He developed Interpersonal Intelligence®, Present Centered Relationship Coaching®, and the Getting To Zero MethodTM.
Conflicts in our closest relationships are frightening because there is so much at stake. If the conflict does not end well, we may lose our spouse, family, or career, all of which are vital to our security and existence. So we will do anything to avoid losing those relationships, like avoid conflict, betray ourselves, or become dishonest. Unresolved conflict has an impact on every element of our lives, from self-esteem to physical and mental health.
Jayson Gaddis is a relationship personal trainer and one of the world's foremost authority on interpersonal conflict. Gaddis has spent nearly two decades assisting individuals, couples, and teams in resolving their most difficult issues. He teaches individuals how to perceive the wisdom in dispute and how to get to zero, which implies we've successfully resolved our issue and have nothing standing in the way of a healthy connection.
Gaddis teaches the reader in Getting to Zero how to quit avoiding difficult talks and instead learn how to work through them. He demonstrates how to progress from separation to connection, acceptance, and understanding using amusing personal anecdotes, difficult instances, and practical tools and skills. This method improves on the old, tired, and static conflict resolution ways by providing a new, street-level, user-friendly road map on how to work through dispute with the people you care about the most. The book is regarded as one of the best books on conflict resolution.
