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. Laura, thank you for

joining us today. Well, thank you for having me. Thanks for having me back. This was fun to just get

like a quick little invitation to come and join you and

that makes it fun for me while I'm in my home office quarantined. Right. No, I've been meaning to reach out to you again and then

I realized, hey, now is a perfect time. I sure is. How about you get it started by telling us a little bit about yourself and what you do?

Sure. Yeah. So my name is Laura Heck. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and also a certified Gottman

therapist, which is sort of an added specialty. And I have a podcast called Marriage Therapy Radio.

Gosh, what else? I have been doing virtual therapy for the last

five years and I work exclusively with couples and I had mentioned to you that I feel like I'm a bit

of a dinosaur because right now in my industry, in my field, everyone's moving to telehealth. And

if they've never done it before, we're coming up with new and unique ways to take in-person care and move it to virtual care.

And strangely enough, I've been just doing virtual care for the last five years.

So it's been fun being able to just watch this new wave of people come through to trying to figure it out.
