About this episode

This episode explores the mechanics of negotiation in professional settings and offers practical preparation strategies.

In this episode, I'm expanding on how negotiation actually works in everyday professional situations and teaching practical ways to prepare before the conversation even starts. We talk about understanding leverage, identifying what is and is not negotiable, and structuring your asks so both sides can walk away with a result that lasts. If you work with other people, you are negotiating more often than you think.
