Listen Later

In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business & Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham, talks about negotiation, helps you understand the concept of conflict and shows you how you can go from contention to solution. In any type of negotiation, if you don't get it right, it's going to be an energy drain, the conversation will stall and you find yourself in a constant battle. If you get it right, you start to make progress, get some understanding and finally, produce some sort of resolution.
The 3 principles that you need to understand are:
The details bogs you down
The meaning that people give to situations is highly emotional
We need to find our solutions above the meaning and details
The Solution Pathway
To go from contention to solution, there are a couple of things to understand:
Observations: What happened? This is the detail, the stuff that we get caught into and we can’t get away from it because we’re stuck in the specifics.
Emotions: What made it happen? What are the meanings placed in it? We need to understand the meaning that comes from it.
Realizations: What is it about? This is where your solutions can be found.
What they are doing
Excavation: At an observation level, they dig into the problem and create a hole of emotions.
Personalization: Once they dig in, they make it personal.
Escalation: This is when we start to really have problems. People are worried about the details and escalating it.
What they should be doing
Information: At the observation level, we actually should be getting the facts and not placing blame on anyone.
Appreciation: Acknowledge and realize what they are feeling. Identify the difficulties and emotions without discounting it. Have empathy.
Resolution: At the highest level, we finally get to the resolution.
