Negotiating is a tool we use in all our relationships to get what we want or meet somewhere in the middle. Often we think of negotiation as purely a business tool, but it’s so much more. And drop the notion that negotiation is an aggressive tactic. And the stereotype that women aren’t good at it. Because negotiation is a way for us to get what we want in all our relationships. In this DMC, Chava Shapiro, business messaging strategist, master web copywriter, and founder of the Creative CEO Academy, shares her insights, tips and tricks into the powerful art of negotiation. You’ll leave this DMC feeling inspired, empowered and enlightened.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Chava’s journey as a frum female entrepreneur

• Her mission to help women make more money

• Why negotiation is one of Chava’s passion topics

• What is negotiation and how and when we use it

• The stereotype that women are poor negotiators

• Tips to improve our negotiation skills in our personal relationships

How do we break the mold? How do we change our bad habits, attitudes and self-perceptions that aren’t serving us and redefine how we show up in the world? Is self-transformation even possible? Raizy asked these questions when she embarked on a personal journey of self-discovery. She recorded it and her takeaways in her new book, The Anatomy of a Yenta: Break the Yenta Mold, Embrace Dignity, and Create an Elegant Life. We’ve brought Raizy on to DMC (for the second time!) to share her story and give us insights into how we can embark on our own self-transformation journeys.

Happy Chanukah to all our DMC listeners! Chanukah is all about miracles, and the Jewish people have witnessed miracles of biblical proportions this year. These open miracles have reminded us that Hashem is in control and will never break his promise to the Jewish people or Israel. And while these miracles have often strengthened our belief and emunah, other historic, spiritual miracles are happening to Am Yisrael as well, both in Israel and the Diaspora. Celebrated Israeli journalist and Torah educator Sivan Rahav Meir joins us on the podcast to share what she thinks is the greatest miracle of all from the war.

So often in relationships, we’re looking outwards – at the other person with his or her flaws & what needs to be fixed. But what if the key to fulfilling and meaningful relationships lay inwards – with the self? What if we truly understood ourselves? Chany Rosengarten believes this type of empowerment gives women peace, joy and confidence – in themselves and their marriages.
