Parents would make incredible hostage negotiators. After all, we’re negotiating all day, every day, with our kids, partners, and co-workers.  Because we’re in countless negotiations (and maybe we don’t even know it), I’ve invited former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss to the show to help us effectively negotiate with our kids, partner, and co-workers.  This guy is legit. He’s even done a masterclass on it. Maybe you want your kids to go to bed on time or listen to better music. Or do you want your partner to step it up at home, or do you desire a better schedule at work? Chris is here for all of it. Plus, he shares why he wants our kids to say NO. Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It.  Listen in to learn more:  (03:54) Negotiating and Parenting With Chris Voss) (08:39) Redefining Negotiation Through Tactical Empathy  (13:50) Parenting and Autonomy  (22:39) Effective Hostage Negotiation Techniques  (25:38) Importance of Tactical Empathy in Negotiation  (30:26) Perspective and Accountability in Communication  (33:29) Parenting Strategies for Effective Communication  (48:45) Tactical Empathy in Parenting and Leadership  In this episode, we are diving into causes of friction in families and how minimizing friction helps move collaboration along, the power of saying no, practical strategies you can use to help the people in your life feel heard (and therefore more willing to come to the table!), and why empathy does not require agreement.
