Erin Gleason: Mindfulness and Negotiation

Let’s discuss practical ways to incorporate mindfulness in your negotiation practice. When we approach problem solving from a place of positivity and mindfulness, it helps us move away from the competitive, combative, and otherwise stressful ways in which negotiation is often characterized. This is important because when you negotiate from a place of focus, calm, and non-judgment, you tend to have a better experience in the negotiation itself - not to mention better results.
