Summary

Alexandra Carter, world-renowned negotiation trainer for the United Nations, award winning professor, and best selling author, is here to ask us to ask for more. She has outlined the simple and direct questions to ask to turn a “no” into a “yes”. But negotiation is not just arguing over numbers at a table. It is any conversation that steers a relationship. That could be with a boss, a partner, or a child. But the most important relationship to steer, is the one with yourself. To negotiate is to know your worth. And when you ask for more, you not only teach the other party how to value you, but how to value all of us.  About the Guest: Alexandra Carter is Director of the Mediation Clinic at Columbia Law School, where she is also an award-winning professor, and a world-renowned negotiation trainer for the United Nations. She also serves as Executive Director of Stand Up Girls, helping tween girls develop relationships for greater self-esteem and resilience. She has appeared on CBS This Morning, MSNBC’s LIVE Weekend and Hardball, Marketplace, and in The New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
