Episode notes
Three Conflict Types
- People's responses to conflict fall into three categories: fight, flight, or make friends.
- Mirroring and labeling are effective negotiation tactics across all three types.
Mirroring in Negotiations
- Use mirroring in negotiations by repeating the last few words spoken.
- This encourages the other person to elaborate and reveal more information.
Mastering "No"
- Instead of seeking "yes", trigger "no" to make others feel safe and less defensive.
- Follow up by confirming their reasoning with "That's right", not "You're right" or "Yes".
