Negotiate Real Change
Kwame Christian M.A. Esq.
Negotiate Real Change highlights leaders who are creating positive change in their organizations. The more we talked to leaders in the diversity, equity, and inclusion space, the more we started to recognize the patterns of successful change-makers within organizations.There’s a difference between passion and persuasion. When it comes to creating positive change, simply being a passionate professional armed with data, statistics, and research is rarely enough to create real change.This show will share the secrets behind what it really takes for you to be a successful advocate, ally, and changemaker in your organization.

Navigating Generational Friction at Work With Chris DeSantis
Request A Customized Workshop For Your Company: https://www.americannegotiationinstitute.com/services/workshops/Are your colleagues in distinctly different age groups? Are you sometimes baffled or frustrated by their decisions and behaviors? You are not alone.Since the workplace is made up of multiple generations, you are likely to experience generational friction firsthand. But let’s be clear: these are not problems to fix. Rather, they are differences to understand, appreciate, and—ultimately—leverage.Organizational behavior expert Chris De Santis has studied the literature on parenting, generational research, and the evolving American worker and workplace for decades. This deeply researched book reveals a fresh and easily implemented framework for understanding generational perspectives, explaining when it makes sense to talk about these differences and when it doesn’t.In Why I Find You Irritating, you’ll learn why organizations need to embrace lopsidedness as a way of reversing the commoditization of talent while simultaneously respecting what is unique about each of us. By understanding and appreciating our colleagues, we can reduce friction, increase engagement, and improve both productivity and job satisfaction.1-Multigenerational Negotiations2-Hybrid NegotiationsListen to Cubicle Confidential Podcast, hosted by Mary Abbajay & Chris DeSantis on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cubicle-confidential/id1575418679cpdesantis.com https://cpdesantis.com/Order Now The Book: Why I Find You Irritating: Navigating Generational Friction at Work https://amplifypublishinggroup.com/product/nonfiction/business-and-finance/leadership-and-management/why-i-find-you-irritating-navigating-generational-friction-at-work/Follow Chris DeSantis on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/cpdesantis/Follow Kwame Christian on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kwamechristian/The Ultimate Negotiation Guide: https://www.americannegotiationinstitute.com/guides/ultimate-negotiation-guide/Click here to buy your copy of How To Have Difficult Conversations About Race!: https://www.amazon.com/Have-Difficult-Conversations-About-Race/dp/1637741308/ref=pd_%5B%E2%80%A6%5Df0bc9774-7975-448b-bde1-094cab455adb&pd_rd_i=1637741308&psc=1Click here to buy your copy of Finding Confidence in Conflict: How to Negotiate Anything and Live Your Best Life!: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Confidence-Conflict-Negotiate-Anything/dp/0578413736/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PSW69L6ABTK&keywords=finding+confidence+in+conflict&qid=1667317257&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjQyIiwicXNhIjoiMC4xNCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMjMifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=finding+confidence+in+conflic%2Caps%2C69&sr=8-1
