SPEAK LIKE A CEO

286: Pirates, Hostages & Cyber Attacks: What They Taught Me About Decisions with Top Kidnap-for-Ransom Negotiator Scott Walker


Listen Later

Scott Walker is a world-class kidnap-for-ransom negotiator who deals with hostage takers, pirates and cyber-attacks. 

Scott has successfully negotiated more than 300 such incidents using the principles he shares in his best-selling book ‘Order Out of Chaos’.

The New York Times called it “a masterclass in communication excellence”.  

Now Scott is back with his follow-up, ‘Eye of The Storm’ – a book that lifts the curtain on how we make decisions, and how we don’t become slaves to our emotions.  

Since we all make hundreds of decisions every day, becoming better at this skill can be a game-changer for your life. 

As always, Scott delivers with clarity, humor and fresh insights. He shows us how to thrive  in any situation, regulate our emotions under pressure, and build our decision-making muscle. 

Also check out Episode 239 with Scott when we talked about becoming a world-class negotiator.
