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. Jan, thanks for joining us today. Hey, hey, Kami. I'm glad to be here. Thanks for having me.

My pleasure. This is me

returning the favor, my friend. So it is great to have you. So how would you get it started by

telling us a little bit about yourself and what you do? Well, you said it's returning the favor

because you are on the leadership podcast. So for those listeners out there, they need to make sure

they see that episode with you.

It was all about me questioning you. But my background, I've got some military experience.

I've got a whole bunch of business experience in big companies down to small companies,

a little bit of academic experience teaching MBA students in the U.S. and Ireland.

And I've done what I'm doing now, my life's work for the last 10 years, helping develop

leaders that really believe the best way to grow their organization is by developing their people.

So that's what I get to do.

And I do it through coaching and speaking in workshops.
