We're all in the same boat here. We're all in a situation where all of a sudden our most critical negotiations are happening online right now. So I want to ask you a question. Have you ever been trained specifically on how to negotiate online? For most of you, the answer is going to be no. Even if you took an online negotiation course, it probably didn't talk about strategies and

tactics for online negotiations. That's why we created this one-of-a-kind virtual training called

How to Leverage Technology to succeed in your online negotiations. This is a two-hour training

that will be held on June 4th, and it's all about giving you the tools and the confidence

you need to get the best possible deal in these critical negotiations. Check out the link in the

description to learn more. Hello my friends and welcome to our practice session. In our practice

sessions we invite our featured guests to show off their negotiation and conflict resolution

skills in a realistic

scenario. In this session, I want you to pay attention to what our guest does and not to what I do,

because while they are trying to show off their skills and teach you, I'm trying to frustrate their

efforts in different ways through things like aggression, annoyance, emotionality, or awkwardness.

And then after the practice session, we debrief and talk about what worked, what didn't

work, and what you can use in your next difficult conversation.

All right, everybody.

Welcome to our first recorded sparring session.

This is so exciting.

So with this sparring session, we want to make sure that

we are being current, as current as possible. And right now it is April 14th, 2020. And so the thing

that everybody is talking about is the current pandemic, coronavirus, COVID-19. So we're going to push the timeline of this episode up to, let's say, early June,

where it could possibly be a time where everything starts opening back up.

And so I am going to be a manager, some high-level person in an organization,

and I'm really gung-ho about making sure
