Often we avoid negotiating because we don't know how to deal with the tactics of intimidating negotiators.

Hardball and intimidating negotiators are challenging because they throw us off balance on purpose.  It’s a game to them.

Not knowing when and how they will employ their tactics causes great anxiety.  

Would you like to easily recognize when a hardball strategy is coming your way and know exactly what to do when that happens?

Would you like to stand your ground in an authentic way without losing your cool?

You’ve come to the right place!
