Negotiate Anything

He Was a Nervous Student — Then Negotiation Changed Everything


Listen Later

A Real Story of Confidence, Clarity, and Breakthroughs


In this episode, Kwame talks with Kevin Tuinte, a mechanical engineering student from the Netherlands who discovered the power of negotiation… and never looked back. Through his work with the Negotiation Project Twente, Kevin went from anxious in tough conversations to leading high-level negotiations — even winning global tournaments against top law and business schools.

You’ll learn how Kevin trains soft skills in a technical world, why breaks are an underrated tool in high-stakes moments, and how practicing negotiation weekly changed his mindset — and his future.



What you’ll learn:


– The moment Kevin realized he could stay calm under pressure

– Why breaks are a secret weapon in negotiation

– How to train confidence, not just tactics


– Why negotiation is a bundle of soft skills (and not just for business people)

Whether you're a student, professional, or lifelong learner — this is the reminder that negotiation is a skill you can master. And the best time to start is now.
