Negotiate Anything

Why Avoiding Conflict Costs You More


Listen Later

What if the biggest deals you’re negotiating aren’t across the table—but inside your own mind?

In this powerful Negotiation Masterclass edition of Negotiate Anything, you’ll hear three world-class experts tackle one shared truth from completely different angles: success in business — and life — comes down to mastering difficult conversations.

First, behavioral economist Melina Palmer reveals the hidden brain biases silently sabotaging your goals — optimism bias, planning fallacy, bike shedding, and the “I’ll start Monday” effect. You’ll learn how to outsmart your own psychology, negotiate with your future self, and finally follow through on what matters most .

Next, startup CEO Naved Iqbal, PhD, dives into one of the hardest conversations a founder can face: telling a co-founder their equity needs to be reduced. Through raw storytelling, he breaks down how conviction, fairness, and radical transparency can preserve trust — even when the stakes are high and the outcome uncertain . From negotiating with vendors as a David facing Goliath to aligning with your spouse before taking entrepreneurial risks, you’ll discover how clarity and honesty become your greatest leverage.

Finally, negotiation specialist Nicole Davidson pulls back the curtain on what really happens in mediation. She explains why the key to unlocking deadlocked disputes isn’t having better arguments — it’s asking better questions. You’ll explore cognitive biases, subconscious decision-making, and the power of stepping onto the “balcony” to see your negotiations more clearly .

This isn’t theory. It’s practical wisdom from experts who’ve lived the tension, faced the fear, and navigated the toughest conversations of their careers.

If you’re ready to:

  • Stop procrastinating on your biggest goals

  • Handle high-stakes conversations with integrity

  • Build stronger partnerships at work and at home

  • Make better decisions by understanding how your brain really works

    Then this masterclass is for you.
