Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

22. Even the best negotiators need help
Q: On that note, how much did you tone down your natural excitement? Or were you very aggressive? I want to paint a fuller picture of what you specifically did that backfired.
The guest explains that they were not highly emotional and tried to play hard-to-get, which backfired as the CFO perceived a lack of enthusiasm and commitment; ultimately the firm briefly paused the negotiations before offering a small concession and clarifying the miscommunication.
20. We met with a divorce mediator
Q: How do you handle emotions during negotiations, especially with sensitive divorce issues?
We normalize emotions, provide a calm presence, and use techniques like reframing and structured steps to keep conversations productive.
20. We met with a divorce mediator
Q: What training or qualifications are needed for mediators since you're not attorneys?
We rely on formal negotiation training, extensive courses at institutions like Harvard and MIT, and specialized divorce mediation training; practical experience is key.
20. We met with a divorce mediator
Q: Do you represent the couple or one person?
We serve the couple as a whole, not either party alone, to achieve a true win-win and a more sustainable resolution.
21. We interview an HR leader & employment attorney
Q: What are effective non-salary components someone should negotiate if base salary is capped by the company?
Candidates can negotiate performance bonuses, equity structure, signing bonuses, relocation, and enhanced benefits like extended COBRA, health insurance, or flexible work terms, especially if the base is inflexible due to policy or pay bands.
