Get Stronger at Negotiating with Desmond O’Neill

Get Stronger at negotiating with this new episode. Retired Federal Agent and interrogation expert Desmond O’Neill joins Don to discuss his 30-year career spanning the Secret Service and Homeland Security, sharing valuable tips on how to improve your own communication and negotiation skills. Desmond served as a lead instructor for the High Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG), a unit created to revolutionize intelligence gathering through non-coercive, science-based methods. Desmond shares high-stakes stories from the interrogation booth and translates those lessons into practical tools for everyday life. You’ll learn the "Four Animal Archetypes" for decoding behavior in real-time, the vital difference between manipulation and influence, and why "robbing someone of their moment" is the biggest mistake you can make when building rapport. Whether you’re negotiating a major business deal or simply trying to get your kids to listen, Desmond’s insights on curiosity, empathy, and active listening will transform your approach to communication. ----------------------------- Sponsored By:  35% Off Mitopure Gummies by Timeline: Get 35% off a one month subscription of Mitopure to Target Age-Related Cellular Decline and Promote Anti-Aging and Health Longevity.
