Join us in this episode of 'Rolling Through Negotiations' with Kirren Robson-Garth. This man is a powerhouse: a black belt in both Judo and Jiu-Jitsu, a strategic thinker who brings the precision and discipline of martial arts to the forefront of engineering with his company, Combela. But what's truly impressive is how he takes the lessons from the mats, where he's known for his smart moves and solid judgment and applies them to the complex world of business and engineering. And let's not forget, he's doing all of this while being an incredible husband to Tracey and a rockstar dad to two legendary boys. You're going to want to hear how this guy thinks because it's all about the mindset. So, let's get started and learn how to bring that black belt mentality to our negotiations.

Key Points:

• Kirren reflects on the psychological parallels between facing 'Garth Goliath' in martial arts and challenging the behemoths of the business world. Kirren explains how he faces challenges in business much like opponents in martial arts, where mindset and strategy play critical roles.
  
  
• He draws inspiration from a quote by the immortal words of judo legend Yasuhiro Yamashita: "If they could see on my face what I felt in my heart, they'd never want to fight me." Kirren takes this attitude into the business world, staying strong and confident no matter how tough the competition seems.
  
  
• Mentors play a significant role in Kirren's life. He speaks highly of Maria Pekli, a judo champion with seven national titles and a Lifetime Membership of Judo Australia, who has been a guiding force in his journey.  
  
  
• Kirren emphasises the importance of learning from various mentors without simply copying them. By absorbing different teachings and making them his own, he's created a versatile approach to life's competitions. 

Explore the essence of what it takes to be a winner with Kirren Robson-Garth, as he unveils how the indomitable spirit of a martial artist aligns with the strategic finesse of a top tier engineer.
