ART of Feminine NEGOTIATION

Movie producer, Sam Goldwyn is attributed with the famous quip "A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on". So when should you get a deal in writing versus accepting the promise or handshake? Lawyers typically advocate to get written contracts. Many people believe a contract is only valid or enforceable if it's in writing. Let me bust that myth. Contracts can be written, verbal, or inferred by conduct (with limited statutory exceptions). The question is which best serves you in any given situation. In this episode, I aim to demystify this issue. We explore: Formal contracts vs. simple written agreements Verbal agreements vs. written Pros and cons (risks and rewards) for each Elements of a written contract Tips to protect you Deals with family Best practices As always, being intentional about your decision whether to get an agreement in writing or not is key. There is not necessarily a right or wrong answer in any given situation. So long as you consider the elements discussed here, including the pros and cons of each approach, you'll be ahead of the pack. Most people act (or not) out of habit or reflex without bringing intention to the decision-making process.

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Do you assume that extroverts are better negotiators? If so, check out this episode where we discuss whether introverts in fact have an advantage in effective negotiations. Introverts are sometimes assumed to be soft and viewed as pushovers. Perhaps it's time to challenge those assumptions and ensure the voices of introverts are given the space they deserve. As the world rewards extroverts and encourages a bombastic attack on life, many have come to talk over, minimize and discount the voices of introverts. In doing so, we miss out on valuable input, insights, perceptions, and counterbalances. The benefit of creativity that comes from recognizing and respecting different approaches is lost. In this episode, we discuss: Definitions of introverts vs extroverts Benefits of introversion in negotiation Empathy Active Listening Invoking the Power of Questions Preparation Thinking Before Speaking Negotiating Tips for Introverts Mentally prepare Understand your voice is valid Learn and trust your negotiation style Stay true to yourself Both extroverts and introverts alike can benefit from giving deeper consideration to this subject.
