The Power of Understanding Narrative In Negotiation

Allan Tsang, one half of Oblinger & Tsang, and co-founder of The Negotiation Tribe, helps sellers negotiate to achieve satisfying outcomes that both sides are happy to live with for the long term. Trained by one of my personal heroes in business, Jim Camp, and mentored by Gary Noesner who transformed the way the FBI negotiate to release hostages, Allan brings enormous experience and wisdom to the negotiation process. "Winning at negotiation is a fallacy. If you win, by default your counterpart loses. Then they'll want to get even", says Allan. A master of incrementally building, rock solid agreements, Allan explains the difference between #story and #narrative, and why understanding the narrative of all parties involved in a negotiation is critical. We delve deep into negotiation psychology to ensure you recognise when you are in a negotiation and when youa re in a psychological game.
