Negotiation Series - How to get better in negotiation with Tactical Empathy

My thoughts on what I learned from top FBI negotiator Chris Voss

This is going to be multi-part series about how to get better in negotiations in your daily life. Why learning negotiation skills can help you in your career. In my opinion it’s a life skill.

These are one of those things that I wish I knew sooner. I have tried many of these techniques and I was surprised how effective they have been for me. I’m not great at it but I’m getting better every single day by practicing them consistently.

I hope this unlocks amazing opportunities for you as well. I learned these skills by Chris Voss. He is famous negotiator and has written a book Never split the difference.

I’m forever grateful to him.

Why This Matters

Learnings negotiation is crucial for daily conversation. Some of the main reasons why I wanted to learn the skills are as follows

• Better negotiate with my boss for salary, projects and more.

• Better negotiate with my kids.

• Better negotiate while checking in hotels.

• Better negotiate while requesting an airline upgrade.

• Better negotiate a job offer.

There are many more reasons, these are just handful of them that I have used recently.

Overall, for me these skills have created new opportunity and my motivation is keep getting better at it and compound my skills.
