Ep 242 Negotiation Skills Introverts Need

The Flourishing Introvert Talks

Summary

Negotiation, Negotiation, Negotiation - it is happening everywhere and at all stages of our lives. I explore negotiation skills specifically tailored for introverts and how we already negotiate in our day to day lives. More importantly, how and why being more intentional in our negotiation skills serves us well.

I debunk the myth that negotiation only happens in boardrooms and among people in suits and ties. To the contrary negotiation plays a crucial role in daily interactions as we advocate for ourselves, resolve conflicts, and maintain personal boundaries. You'll hear me sing praises of William Ury, and I do so unapologetically.

Be it setting realistic deadlines or managing household responsibilities - negotiating skills come in handy. Hence, the sooner we learn these skills as introverts, the better we can do in our career, relationships and overall life - in collaborating, with clear terms and boundaries.

• Everyday relevance of negotiation skills.
