On today's show, I have Devon Smiley who is a Negotiation Consultant located in Paris, France!

 

I'm not going to lie, I didn't really know what a negotiation consultant actually did before speaking to Devon. Of course they help with negotiating but ...what does that exactly mean? Devon shares all about how she got into negotiating as a career, the mistakes most people make when it comes to negotiating (whether it's for a new contract with a client or increase in pay at work or more), her best tips on negotiating and what to do if you've lost the upper hand, and so much more!

 

Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!
