After a few episodes, simply boring.
I took Professor Christensen's class years ago, and this podcast is a fantastic refresher. The negotiation tactics discussed are practical and grounded in reality, which I find incredibly helpful in my day-to-day work. He has a great knack for explaining complex strategies clearly without getting bogged down in academic jargon.
It’s solid, actionable advice whether you’re a former student or a new listener.
Took a negotiations course from Stan at BYU and was learned of the podcast there. He is BRILLIANT and full of great stories. I’ve enjoyed listening to the podcast ever since. 10/10 would recommend for those that are entrepreneurially minded, or just hoping to sharpen the edge to their negotiations skillsets (because we ALL negotiate daily!)
I discovered All Things Negotiation through Peter Metcalf’s Crisis as an Opportunity in Drag episode. Stan’s thoughtful questions and natural flow make each story engaging. The variety of guests and topics keeps it both informative and inspiring—now one of my go-to podcasts.
I've listened to many of the episodes on this podcast and have truly found it informative and entertaining. I might even say inspirational! Stan is a great interviewer and he seems to know a lot of interesting people who have been great guests.
