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.

We might be climbing up on a soapbox today—and for good reason. In this week's upcoming episode of No More Mondays, I sit down with speaker, author, and executive communication coach Cindy Skalicky to dig into the art (and science) of impactful messaging. If you've ever wondered why some presentations fall flat while others ignite action, this conversation is for you. Cindy works with science and tech leaders to build persuasive communication skills that actually move people—whether it's pitching an idea, getting buy-in from a team, or leading through change. Together, we explore everything from rhetoric and storytelling to slide deck design, credibility-building, and the one mistake most leaders make when sharing ideas. Cindy also shares a sneak peek of her upcoming book, Red Light, Green Light, and how her proven "HOW TO" model helps people make their message land—and last. Whether you're a leader, a coach, a small business owner, or just someone who wants to communicate with more clarity and impact, this one's packed with practical gems (and a few well-earned laughs). 🎯 Spoiler alert: People don't always need to hear what you want to say—they need to hear what will move them to act. 👉 Tune in, take notes, and maybe even grab a spot on the book waitlist while you're at it.
