Profound Impact Podcast

Everyday we engage in activities that require that we negotiate and make decisions our ability to negotiate well greatly enhance our ability to make the right decisions, this podcast episodes dug deep into the life story of two major characters in Bible and world history (Esau and Jacob) with a focus on their negotiation flaws and how to avoid repeating them.

One might think that September 12, 2006...the day I lost my mum was the darkest and most difficult day of my life. But the truth is, it was but there have been other days and times in my life when the pain and fear I felt were just overwhelming and I wasn't even sure I'd be able to keep going. In all of our lives, there are moments of darkness and pain that seems too great to overcome. I know that feeling so well. But what I have learnt and still learning is that there is a way through which we can turn pain into a channel through which our purpose and true identity for living can be discovered. This can lead you into what will be a tremendous and ultimate transformation you can ever experience. In today's episode, you'll learn how to turn your pains into a WHY for living.

There are beliefs about the concept of what makes a leader or what leadership is that we have been sold from cradle. Fortunately and unfortunately these ideologies got stuck with us, ultimately informed and shaped our view and orientation about what leadership in it real sense means.

In today's podcast episode, we shared insights into some of these leadership misconceptions.

Job-offer negotiations are rarely easy. Consider three typical scenarios:

You’re in a third-round interview for a job at a company you like, but a firm you admire even more just invited you in. Suddenly the first hiring manager cuts to the chase: “As you know, we’re considering many candidates. We like you, and we hope the feeling is mutual. If we make you a competitive offer, will you accept it?”

You’ve received an offer for a job you’ll enjoy, but the salary is lower than you think you deserve. You ask your potential boss whether she has any flexibility. “We typically don’t hire people with your background, and we have a different culture here,” she responds. “This job isn’t just about the money. Are you saying you won’t take it unless we increase the pay?”

You’ve been working happily at your company for three years, but a recruiter has been calling, insisting that you could earn much more elsewhere. You don’t want to quit, but you expect to be compensated fairly, so you’d like to ask for a raise. Unfortunately, budgets are tight, and your boss doesn’t react well when people try to leverage outside offers. What do you do?

Each of these situations is difficult in its own way—and emblematic of how complex job negotiations can be. At many companies, compensation increasingly comes in the form of stock, options, and bonuses linked to both personal and group performance.

In recruitment, more companies are using “exploding” offers or sliding-scale signing bonuses based on when a candidate accepts the job, complicating attempts to compare offers. With executive mobility on the rise, people vying for similar positions often have vastly different backgrounds, strengths, and salary histories, making it hard for employers to set benchmarks or create standard packages.

In some industries a weak labor market has also left candidates with fewer options and less leverage, and employers better positioned to dictate terms. Those who are unemployed, or whose current job seems shaky, have seen their bargaining power further reduced.

But job market complexity creates opportunities for people who can skillfully negotiate the terms and conditions of employment. After all, negotiation matters most when there is a broad range of possible outcomes.
