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.

One last thing before we start. With this show, our goal is to provide you with practical tools

that you can immediately put into action so you can get better outcomes in your difficult

conversations. So let's have some fun with this. The name of the show is Negotiate Anything,

so you and me, let's make a deal. If you find anything in this episode to be useful, encouraging,

thought-provoking, or in any way helpful, then we'd really appreciate it if you'd leave us with a five-star

review. Your review will help more people just like you know that this podcast is worth listening to.

So I know that deal works for me, and I hope it works for you too. And without further ado,

let's jump into the interview. Chelsea, thanks for joining us today.

Yeah, my pleasure, Kwame.

Thanks for inviting me.

Oh, no, I'm excited to have you.

So how about you start us off by telling us a little bit about yourself and what you do?
