You’ve been there:
- A high-stakes negotiation looms, but tensions are already rising.
- The other side pushes, threatens, or stalls—and you wonder, “How do I stay in control?”
- It all ends in a rotten compromise—leaving you feeling shortchanged.
This is why I spent 20 years in South Africa’s toughest arenas:
- Power plants, where heated wage and safety debates could trigger strikes with one wrong word.
- Mega construction sites, where suppliers suddenly demanded price renegotiations—putting entire projects at risk.
- Boardrooms, where polished words cut like knives, and no one showed their cards.
Here’s what this means for you: I discovered what truly works when...
- Emotions explode—and how to defuse them without conceding.
- Power imbalances tilt against you—yet you keep the upper hand.
- Deadlines tighten—but you refuse to settle for bad deals.
My promise to you:
Negotiations don’t have to be battles—even under pressure.
Let’s ensure YOU walk away with the best outcome—without burning bridges.
