Description
A BIFF Response® helps us communicate in this age of rapid change and instant communication, and in a Society with a growing Culture of Blame and Disrespect.
Managing your responses to high-conflict emails, texts, letters, and social media meltdowns is imperative, according to author Bill Eddy.
A BIFF response can be applied in any communication anywhere – on the Internet, in a letter or in person. It can be used at work, earning you respect and success. It can help you get along with difficult family members, friends, neighbors and others anywhere in your life. BIFF was designed to protect you and your reputation by responding quickly and civilly to people who treat you rudely – while being reasonable in return.

Testimonial
“The work you are doing is a tremendous contribution to the community. I kindly ask whoever reads this to pass along to Bill Eddy that I’m writing from Colombia as a New Zealander who owns a small business here. His book, BIFF, may well have saved my business (and my mental health). By following his guide, I was able to keep everything from unraveling.”
