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, and we'd love to have the opportunity to work with you too. Check out the link in the

description to learn more. Zabin, thanks for joining us again, my friend. Thanks, Kwame. So great to see you

and so great to be back in the show. Yes, great to have you. Listeners, if you do not remember, Zabine was on an episode in September 2019, absolutely killed it. It is, I have to apologize to the audience that has been so long since we've had you had you on. So we're excited to have you back. I forgive you, Kwame, and I

beseech your audience to forgive you as well. Thank you. So for those who might not remember,

how would you get us started by telling us a little bit about you and what you do and what's new

for you, too? Well, so for those of you that don't know me, my name is Sabine. I am born and raised here

in the great state of New York and the greatest city on the planet. No offense to you, Kwame,

but New York City is where it's at. Point of real pride for us born and bred New Yorkers.

My background is in banking and finance. I started my career in Wall Street.

I decided very quickly that that was not what I was going to do for the rest of my life.

I moved into management consulting.

I worked in media and branding.

I've really been all over the place.
