NIRL 46 Jemimah Ashley - Reading people in a negotiation


Listen Later

In this episode of Negotiation in Real Life, I speak with Jemimah Ashleigh, an award-winning entrepreneur, best-selling author and keynote speaker. After a thirteen-year career in law enforcement, Jemimah left the Australian Federal Police and has since gone on to start multiple six figure businesses, release a best-selling book, win multiple awards and in 2022 was named one of Australia's top 10 entrepreneurs.

Jemimah states a lot of her success in business came from a career in law enforcement where she specialised in reading body

language and micro expressions. Jemimah has worked with some incredible teachers such as Paul Eckman and has studied this for years.
Jemimah started in rural Victoria but she didn’t stop there. She hasn’t really stopped anywhere. Her first job, working as an analyst for the Australian Police of the back of a Bachelor of Science (Security) and post-graduate studies in Investigations and Criminal Intelligence, would have been enough for most people. Jemimah is not most people.

After meeting a silversmith in New York, she founded her own jewellery company, Tangs Design. As that went from a crazy

idea, to a side project all the way to a stable company, she realised that she’d jumped in at the deep end of online promotion. As it turned out - she was pretty good at it!

Jemimah knew she wanted to educate people about business and went on to co-found The Business Experiment podcast which

went on to become one of Australia’s fastest growing podcasts. Jemimah now exclusively works with people to do amazing expert at her business The Visibility Lab helping them get seen and featured in the media and getting massive exposure.  

She’s completed studies in Criminal Intelligence, speaks three languages and has extensive experience in teaching LGBTIQA+ issues in Government. Jemimah is a skilled actor and improvisor,

is often found doing stand-up, blogging and writing.  

And she’s approached all of this with humour, passion, a fun loving attitude and enthusiasm.  

In our discussion today, we speak about …

  • Understanding and interpreting body language
    •  Skills and techniques in negotiation
      •  Jemimah's personal anecdotes/experiences
      •  ... and much much more.
