Deep dives

Negotiation as Conversation

Negotiation is framed as a conversation rather than a contentious battle, making the process seem less intimidating. This shift in perspective encourages individuals to engage in negotiations with a collaborative mindset, which can lead to more favorable outcomes. For example, this approach can help those new to the workforce feel empowered when discussing salary or job responsibilities. By normalizing negotiations as conversations, individuals are more likely to approach them with confidence and clarity.
