EP6 – The Negotiator Mindset: From Crisis to Calm

There’s a moment before everything changes, a breath, a silence, a split second where a life can go either way.

In Episode 6 of MC Hammer Time – Beyond the Badge, I take you inside that moment. Drawing on real experiences as a police negotiator, we unpack the mindset required to move from chaos to calm under extreme pressure.

This episode explores:

• Emotional intelligence when stakes are high
• Why negotiation is about lowering emotional temperature, not winning
• How calm, presence and listening can save lives — and relationships
• Why people in crisis aren’t bad, they’re hurting
• How negotiator skills apply to leadership, parenting, work and everyday life

These principles don’t just resolve crises — they change outcomes, restore humanity, and remind us that presence can interrupt tragedy.

If you lead, care, listen, or support others — this episode matters.
