*Difficult Conversations grew out of fifteen years of work at the Harvard Negotiation Project, which focuses on matters of negotiation and conflict resolution.
*The result is a remarkable guide that lets you in on the powerful techniques that have been employed in world trouble spots to bring opposing sides together and forge new futures.
*Following the lessons learned from these high-stakes examples will transform your approach to the challenging encounters of everyday life – from requesting a pay rise to ending a relationship.
*By absorbing the guidance offered in this valuable book, you’ll be well prepared for difficult conversations, rather than desperate to avoid them.
