How to attract opportunities for meaningful work

“One of the ways that I find provides more successful outcomes in negotiations is when people have stopped thinking of themselves as having the possibility of losing. In negotiation, there is no winning or losing, it’s more like a team overcoming a challenge together. Negotiation is creative problem solving, and when you think of it like this it becomes less of an obstacle and more of an opportunity.”

In this episode, Pros&Babes founder and CEO Kinia Romanowska is joined by Heather Barnhouse, a corporate lawyer who works with many entrepreneurs to grow their businesses to discuss how to manage your time better and make it more meaningful, and her journey to finding balance in a world that keeps spinning.

Listen to this episode if you want to attract work that sits within your zone of genius so that your career fits into the path that you envisioned for yourself and your family.
