Oct 28, 2021 Episode 18
Greg Harrod

Learn how you can get what you want without being a jerk from expert negotiators, Dan Oblinger and Allan Tsang.

You may not think you don't negotiate in your career, but the truth is you do. 

Not only that, you also engage in negotiations continually in your personal life, even with your family members. And, these can be the most difficult negotiation challenges of all.

So how do you engage in these business and personal interactions in a kind and effective way?

Dan and Allan share their proven strategies and techniques for successfully negotiating to build strong agreements with another person or company.

These two guys are obsessed with helping people overcome their fear of negotiation, build stronger agreements, and get more of what they want without unnecessary compromises.

And, they interact with one another in a way that is engaging and entertaining. In fact, I think they're hilarious.

Whether you are an executive, or a sales professional, or an entrepreneur, or start-up CEO, you will benefit from what Dan and Allan have to say.

Or, even if you're a frazzled parent trying to communicate with your teenager, this conversation will help you. 

This episode will equip you to be a better parent, spouse, and teammate as well as a kind and confident leader.

And be sure to grab a copy of their new book, Negotiation Myth Busters, Rethinking Everything You Know About Building Strong Agreements on Amazon.
