Summary

What makes someone inspiring instead of infuriating—and can you learn the difference? In this masterclass edition of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian brings together three elite leaders—a Columbia professor, a public affairs executive, and a championship-winning coach—to reveal what persuasive, service-driven leadership really looks like . You’ll learn how to manage egos (including your own), lead with vulnerability, build trust through listening, and turn everyday moments into opportunities for influence. Inspiration isn’t a personality trait. It’s a practice—and this episode shows you how to build it.
