October 03, 2022 Ever faced a bully? This episode is for you! For the Forces of Good With Lucia Kanter St. Amour
Buy the Book: For the Forces of Good: The Superpower of Everyday Negotiation

"Negotiation happens everywhere every day and it can be anyone’s everyday superpower - even through small acts and language. Yet, negotiation is still viewed by the general public as a specialized skill mastered by experts, and one that you either have or you don’t (“Negotiation can’t be taught. Some people just have the skill and others don’t,” as proclaimed by a high school senior, heading to Brown University to study International Relations, at the author’s 2022 Easter dinner table). Women, in particular, still shy away from negotiation scenarios - many are uncomfortable just asking for something, prioritizing so-called politeness over opportunity and success.
Well, guess what? Negotiation isn't just for business and boardrooms. Negotiation is sexy. Negotiation is stylish. Negotiation is powerful and accessible to you. Every day."

Click here to buy your copy of How To Have Difficult Conversations About Race!

For too long, the term insubordination has evoked negative feelings and mental images. But for ideas to evolve and societies to progress, it’s vital to cultivate rebels who are committed to challenging conventional wisdom and improving on it. Change never comes easily. And most would-be rebels lack the skills to overcome hostile audiences who cling desperately to the way things are.

Based on cutting-edge research, The Art of Insubordination is the essential guide for anyone seeking to be heard, make change, and rebel against an unhealthy status quo. Learn how to
Resist the allure of complacency
Discover the value of being around people who stop conforming and start deviating.
Produce messages that influence the majority-- when in the minority.
Build mighty alliances
Manage the discomfort when trying to rebel
Champion ideas that run counter to traditional thinking
Unlock the benefits of being in a group of diverse people holding divergent views
Cultivate curiosity, courage, and independent, critical thinking in youth

Filled with engaging stories about dissenters in the trenches as well as science that will transform your thinking. The Art of Insubordination is for anyone who seeks more justice, courage, and creativity in the world.
