Welcome to this negotiation masterclass edition of Negotiate Anything.

With over 1,600 episodes featuring some of the world's brightest minds, we've carefully curated three powerful conversations for you.

What makes this so special is that you'll hear how different experts from different industries approach the same challenge in their own unique ways.

Our goal is to give you multiple perspectives so you can build your own unique style.

Success doesn't look the same for everyone.

And in this masterclass, you will see exactly why.

Let's dive in.

Mariana, good to see you again, my friend.

Likewise, thanks for having me back, Kwame.

Yeah, it is my pleasure. So how

would you get started by telling us a little bit about yourself and what you do? Sure, absolutely.

So my name is Mariana Swallow, and I am the speak easy coach. My specialty is helping people get

really comfortable and really calm with public speaking. Everything I do is customized and it is

proven. And I love helping people get comfortable with public speaking, make more confident

presentations. And I support leaders who want to get better at this skill as well as their

teams. So I offer workshops for groups as well, as well as hybrid workshops followed by

coaching. This is great. And I think I'm glad that you painted a picture of the type of work that

you do because I think when people hear a speaking coach, okay, cool, I'm on stage. But I guess I'm not

on stage, so not for me. But now people can recognize, oh, no, this is not just for public speakers, keynote speakers

who are on stage all the time. We're all in these situations from time to the time where we have

to speak in front of people. So this is just a ubiquitous leadership skill. Absolutely.

Yeah. So this is great. I really want to hammer this home because I think some listeners might question the nexus between public speaking and negotiation. And if that's only for new listeners, because everybody knows now that I can connect anything to negotiation.
