Hello, my friend, and welcome to another episode of Negotiate Anything.

Thanks for spending time with us today.

It's listeners like you in 181 different countries that have made Negotiate Anything the most popular negotiation and conflict resolution podcast in the world.

I'm your host, Kwame Christian.

I'm a business lawyer, mediator,

professor, and the director of the American Negotiation Institute. Before we get started,

I have two quick questions for you. Is negotiation a critical part of what you do? Do you need to

resolve conflict and persuade at work? If you answered yes to both of those questions,

visit our website to learn more about

our negotiation workshops. We've traveled the country working with professionals just like you,

learn more. Robin, thanks for joining us today. Thanks so much for having me Kwame. It is our pleasure. So how about you get us started by telling us a little bit about yourself and what you do?

I did.

So in your very first podcast episode, I think, you gave your audience an assignment to do one thing assignment to ask for one thing that they wouldn't

normally ask for. So I reached out to you and asked you if you would be my opening podcast guest,
