Hello, my friends, and welcome to another exciting episode of Negotiate Anything.

Negotiate Anything is produced by the American Negotiation Institute, and with over 3 million

downloads and listeners in over 180 countries, listeners just like you have made it the number

one negotiation podcast in the world. I'm Kwame Christian and I'm the director

of the American Negotiation Institute. We're growing and I want to introduce you to our new team

members and new trainers. This will give you new and diverse perspectives on negotiation and conflict

resolution. And that's why Shane Martin, our head of sales and partnerships, is going to serve as

co-host of the show from time to time.

We're excited to continue to provide you with the best content that will help to make your difficult conversations easier, both at work and at home.

Lastly, our team conducts negotiation and conflict resolution trainings in the United States and abroad.

Our trainings will give you the practical skills you need to resolve conflict, negotiate, lead, and persuade with confidence.

Amy, thanks for joining us today.

It happens.

So how would you get started by telling us a little bit about yourself and what you do?

Sure.

I'm a mediator. I've been mediating full time for about five years after a 20-year career as a trial attorney,

trying cases in employment, personal injury, and contracts disputes. And that tends to be where the focus of my practice is most of the time these days. But I love the shift and I love helping people work through problems and move forward to resolution.
