Request A Customized Workshop For Your Company: https://www.americannegotiationinstitute.com/services/workshops/When it comes to relationships, J. Paul Nadeau knows what it takes to create a strong bond between people. His philosophy is simple: creating dignity and respect for each other is key to a successful relationship. “Relationships are built on trust and respect,” said Paul Nadeau. “It is essential that both parties feel valued and appreciated in order to foster a positive connection.” J. Paul Nadeau, ‘Paul’ is a retired police detective, hostage negotiator, and international peacekeeper. His life reads like a Hollywood blockbuster, so it’s no wonder he’s been described as one of the world’s ‘most interesting people.’ He's also been called one of the best storytellers out there. Paul is now an admired international keynote speaker who specializes in helping businesses discover how to negotiate for success using hostage negotiation principles and his own 4-step negotiation model. He also speaks on the topics of conflict resolution and mental health, the latter based much on his best-selling book, “Take Control of Your Life,” a book credited for saving lives.
