b"Whenever I play the \\u201cwhat superpower would you pick\\u201d game - my answer is always: to speak every language in existence.

If I could choose a superpower it would be to speak every language in existence.

Imagine being able to effectively communicate with every single person on the planet.

This usually sets me up nicely for the joke, \\u201cwell Tom, you can barely effectively communicate in English, why don\\u2019t you start there.\\u201d

Cue the laughter.

Whether you are a marketer, activist, creative, educator or you\\u2019re just living your daily life - the ability to communicate with influence has a huge impact on our lives.

Negation is a particular form of communication that carries a lot of stress, and sometimes even baggage.

Usually you\\u2019re negotiating in stressful situations, and for many people it may even feel that you are in an unbalanced relationship within the negotiation.

While the ability to negotiate is such a crucial skill, most of us are never given any formal training in negotiation.

At the heart of negotiation is empathy, active listening and relationship building.

This is certainly contrary to the stereotype of what we think of when we think of negotiations.

Another misconception is that the tools of negotiation aren\\u2019t particularly complex or tricky.

Like all things they do require practice to hone your skill but the concepts can be grasped fairly quickly.

On this week's episode, we are going to explore 7 core negotiation strategies.

This episode originally aired a few years ago.

And so, I can share that I\\u2019ve received many emails from folks on how this episode really had a huge impact on their lives.

We\\u2019re going to explore ways to use negation beyond business as well as within your personal life and relationships.

I\\u2019d love to know what your biggest takeaway is!

Enjoy!"
