What if every conversation you have is a form of negotiation?
Drawing on their insights and knowledge, Mike and Alan define negotiation, not as a high-stakes skill reserved for boardrooms, but as a fundamental part of everyday communication. From building rapport and finding shared understanding to knowing when to pause and listen, negotiation is about searching for agreement, not winning an argument.
Find out how effective negotiators are great communicators first, how listening and silence can shape outcomes and why asking questions often achieves more than making statements. You’ll also hear how persuasion, patience and reflection can transform the way we collaborate, influence and build trust.
