In this powerful edition of Negotiation Secrets, I sit down with Hamadel Ndiaye— a videographer, former national swimmer, and triathlete whose story goes far beyond sport. We dive deep into what it truly means to negotiate with your emotions, your limits, and your identity. From confronting road rage with empathy to pushing through heat exhaustion in a race, this episode uncovers:

✨ How emotional control becomes your strongest negotiation advantage

💬 Why breaking the script (responding with calm instead of anger) can completely change an outcome

🌍 Navigating identity across Senegal, France, and the UK — and learning to belong everywhere

🧠 Turning failure, discomfort, and tough coaching into long-term resilience

🚴 How endurance sports teach discipline, patience, and the ability to push beyond mental limits

👥 The power of good people, humility, and keeping your ego small when opportunities show up

This conversation is a reminder that negotiation isn’t just about deals — it’s about how you choose to respond, who you choose to become, and what you choose to carry forward.

Whether you’re navigating career transitions, emotional triggers, or personal growth, this episode will ground you in one truth: When you control your response, you control the outcome.
