REP E349. Do This When Negotiating Make it Easy to Be Wrong
Would you rather win the argument — or actually get what you want? Because those two are rarely the same thing.
In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into one of the most overlooked leadership and negotiation skills: learning how to resolve issues without needing to be "right."
Drawing from real-world experiences with investors and high-stakes conversations, April unpacks why ego-driven negotiations often escalate conflict instead of solving problems. She explains how shifting from proving your point to understanding the other side creates faster resolutions, stronger relationships, and better outcomes for everyone involved.
