172 - Negotiation Is Not a Dirty Word: Redefining the Conversation with Susie Tomenchok

Let’s be honest—most of us think of negotiation as a high-stakes, high-stress, boardroom-only kind of thing. But what if negotiation is actually just... conversation? This week on No More Mondays, I sit down with Susie Tomenchok, executive coach, keynote speaker, and negotiation expert, to reframe what negotiation really is—and how to get more comfortable doing it every day.

We dig into why everything is a negotiation (yes, even who’s doing the dishes), how to ditch the win/lose mindset, and how to build confidence by shifting our perspective. Susie shares a practical framework (P.A.C.E.), surprising research, and tips you can use immediately to ask for what you need—without feeling like a jerk.

Whether you’re negotiating a raise, asking your partner to walk the dog, or navigating a client conversation, Susie’s wisdom will help you communicate more effectively and advocate for yourself with authenticity.

If you’ve ever felt weird about negotiating, this episode is for you.

🎧 Tune in and let’s normalize the art of asking.
