Aspire for More: How to be an Everyday Negotiator

#22 SPECIAL: Grade the Negotiator: HBO's The White Lotus

Joan Moon Episode 22

Do you ever wonder what actually makes a negotiation work, especially when the stakes are sky-high and the emotions are just as intense?

In a delightfully offbeat episode, I am going to take you through a negotiation postmortem using a dramatic hush-money scene from HBO's The White Lotus Season 3 finale. And yes—this is your spoiler warning.

But this isn’t just about analyzing fictional drama. It’s about using storytelling to unpack real-world negotiation strategies—what works, what flops, and why. From preparation and framing to the psychology of walkaways and gender bias, this playful breakdown explores some of the most effective (and cringeworthy) negotiation tactics through the lens of three flawed but fascinating characters: Zion, Belinda, and Gary.
