When we think of negotiation, most of us often think about well-dressed men in business suits arguing through lawyers for a bigger cut of a business deal.
Negotiate Like a Boss with Expert Jacqueline Twillie
But, as Jacqueline Twillie points out, this picture is completely inaccurate.
Negotiation, as she has come to learn, is something that everyone does. Whether you ask someone for an extra piece of pie or a boss for a raise, everyone negotiates.
Unfortunately, we assume that negotiation is for “other people”. We assume that negotiation is for boardrooms, business deals, and shuffling papers around with your lawyers.
That belief is holding you back.
Negotiation is a powerful skill for anyone pursuing their dream. To reach your dream, you have to build relationships and get resources. That involves communicating your value and worth in a way that motivates others to help you get what you need.
Value and worth. That’s what you need to reach your dream and negotiation is one of the tools you need to get it.
In this powerful episode, we talk with master negotiator Jacqueline Twillie about the power of negotiation and why we sharpen our negotiating skills to make more money, start a business, and achieve what we want in life.
