10 Questions to Negotiate Anything. She is an award-winning professor at Columbia Law School Professor of Law and serves as Director of the Mediation Clinic. Alex is also a negotiation trainer whose A-level clients include the United Nations, Fortune 100 companies, and the United States government. Alex speaks to a wide range of audiences from law students to diplomats to business leaders, on topics including negotiation, communication, and leadership.
Alex joins me today to discuss how to reframe what it means to negotiate and how to be a better negotiator. She shares why we settle for less when we could ask for more and how the standard view of negotiation is limited. Alex also highlights how asking the right questions can help people tap into their wisdom and the balance between freely adding value and knowing your worth in business.
“You can still tactfully, collaboratively ask for more and continue to serve, even in the toughest circumstances of our lifetime.” – Alexandra Carter
