289: Blind Blaming: The Hidden Saboteur In Negotiations

We've all experienced moments in negotiation where something feels "off"—where tensions rise, misunderstandings grow, or progress stalls for reasons we can't quite name. Too often, we chalk it up to the other person's behavior, circumstances beyond our control, or the simple belief that "it shouldn't be this hard." But what if the real barrier isn't external at all? What if the hidden force sabotaging our success is something we're blind to within ourselves?   In today's episode, Cindy Watson sits down with Kevin St. Clergy for a powerful and eye-opening conversation on Blind Blaming: The Hidden Saboteur in Negotiations. Kevin is a renowned breakthrough specialist, author, podcast host, keynote speaker, and the creator of the Blind Blaming Framework—a transformative approach that reveals how unseen narratives and unconscious patterns can derail even our best negotiation efforts. Together, Cindy and Kevin explore how recognizing and dismantling blind blaming can shift your outcomes, elevate your relationships, and empower you to negotiate with greater clarity and intention.   In this episode, you will discover:   What is blind blaming and how do we come to identify it as a recurring pattern? What is supportive sabotage? How people misdiagnosed the issue of blind blaming Examples of blind blaming Growth vs fix mindset What is the RCD method (reflect, connect, decide) The ACT Formula And many more!   Learn more about Kevin:   Website: https://nps.blindblaming.com/media#intfinal                https://www.blindblaming.com/   Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kevindstclergy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinstclergy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevindstclergy/   If you're looking to up-level your negotiation skills, I have everything from online to group to my signature one-on-one mastermind & VIP experiences available to help you better leverage your innate power to get more of what you want and deserve in life.
