Lean Out Your Business Podcast


Dec 7, 2021

Have you ever thought about just how many times you negotiate in a single day? The alarm goes off and you negotiate with yourself for just a few more minutes of sleep, it’s dinner time and you negotiate with your spouse to see who gets to pick where the take out is coming from, you send out offers and you negotiate with potential customers over price. Negotiation is everywhere.

Susie Tomenchok believes that when people learn  to use negotiation strategies every day, they create more opportunities and walk away with a win-win when it matters most. She works with individuals and organizations to help amplify their strengths, unleash their inner negotiation guru and increase their professional success. 

Susie’s book The Art of Everyday Negotiation without Manipulation acts as a resource guide that you can come back to again and again as you navigate negotiations in your business and in your everyday life. Pick it up to learn how to anchor first, what to do if the other party anchors first, how to practice silence and so much more.
