From the boardroom to the bedroom - the art of negotiation. Some fear the word as if it were a stand-off at an old saloon. Others picture the high-powered executives making deals and growing even richer. But the truth is, we all negotiate in all areas of our lives, so therefore we need to know how to do it consciously, and be effective.

My conversation with Cindy Watson will enlighten your minds. Cindy is the founder of Women On Purpose, and also the founder and managing partner of Watson Labour Lawyers. She is an experienced and respected attorney, and for the past 30 years has specialized in social justice.

Our conversation introduces her AreFit model of negotiation, using strategies such as empathy, assertiveness, intuition and trust. Cindy is passionate about reframing negotiation, to remove the fear and to balance the power through the art of femininity. It's not just for women, mind you.

We talk about the difference between boundaries and control, negotiation and compromise, manipulation and persuasion all to increase our influence in a positive and conscious way to live a better life and have outcomes that benefit both parties. It's not just about asking (or demanding) what you want, or getting your needs met, but ultimately negotiation is the process of building better relationships.
