Never Split The Difference with Chris Voss

Ep. 75 | Negotiate Like Your Life Depends On It with Chris Voss

The latest Academy episode is a special one — with former FBI Hostage Negotiator and author of “Never Split The Difference: Negotiating as if Your Life Depended on It”, Chris Voss.

Chris brings decades of experience in the realm of high stakes negotiation in the tensest of situations: kidnappings and terrorist organizations in life and death circumstances.

But let’s face it: you and I are unlikely to be in those anytime soon — yet every single day we deal with our own high stakes situations where negotiating, influence and communication are absolutely crucial.

Whether it’s dealing with a customer service rep, a relationship conflict or buying a new car — effective negotiation can change your life.

In this episode, we dig deep on the simple, practical and highly effective techniques for you to use today.
