Need help with a negotiation? Text us and we'll feature your question on the show.

In this episode of Negotiation Made Simple, host John Lowry teams up with longtime friend and leadership expert Chris Allen to tackle one of the most overlooked leadership skills—negotiating inside your organization. From team conflict to change management and return-to-office policies, negotiation is happening everywhere in the workplace, even if we don’t call it that.

Together, John and Chris build a practical 7-step framework—live on the show—for navigating workplace tension with empathy, clarity, and courage. Whether you're a leader, manager, or team member, these steps will help you resolve conflict without compromising relationships or culture.

You’ll learn:

  • Why most workplace problems are really negotiations in disguise
  • How fear and belief systems drive conflict
  • How to manage emotions and create safety in high-stakes conversations
  • A 7-step process to move from tension to collaboration

This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to lead with intention and turn workplace friction into forward momentum.
