This week we're learning how to negotiate effectively with help from negotiation expert, Dr. Victoria Medvec. Vicki is a Professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, as well as a co-founder and the Executive Director of the Center for Executive Women at the Kellogg School. She's also the CEO of Medvec and Associates, which works with big companies like GE, Pfizer, Goldman Sachs, McDonalds, and Microsoft. Listen to hear Vicki discuss the best ways for negotiating with anyone—from your boss to a car salesman to even your very own kids—with strategies like making a negotiation about multiple issues rather than just one, and figuring out the point at which you're willing to walk away.

Vicki’s new book is called Negotiate Without Fear: Strategies and Tools to Maximize Your Outcomes.
