Too many people walk into a negotiation focused only on what they want, without considering the other side. But the best negotiators know that understanding the other person’s needs isn’t just nice—it’s how you get better results.

In this episode, I’ll challenge the way you think about negotiation and show you how a simple mindset shift can change everything. We’ll talk about why empathy is a strategic advantage, how to stop making assumptions, and what happens when you start asking the right questions. If you’ve ever felt like your asks aren’t landing the way you want, this episode will help you rethink how to position them—and make it easier for the other person to say yes.

In This Episode, I’ll Cover:

1. Why shifting your focus to the other party makes you a stronger negotiator.
2. The right way to ask questions that uncover what actually matters.
3. How to reframe your asks so the other person is more likely to say yes.
