How can you approach negotiations with confidence?
In this episode of the Dominate Your Day podcast, I spoke with Susie Tomenchok—executive coach, negotiation expert, and author—about how to properly negotiate in your relationships.
We explore the concept of framing—how presenting ideas or requests in a clear, strategic way can lead to more effective communication and better outcomes. She shares stories of clients who have used this framing concept to successfully negotiate a situation in their favor. Susie emphasizes the importance of preparing well for negotiations, knowing what you want, and being able to express it in a way that resonates with others.
She also introduces the idea of emotional agility, or the ability to recognize and manage emotional responses in the moment so they don’t cloud judgment. For anyone navigating leadership, change, or important conversations, this episode offers powerful tools and perspective to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
