Negotiation Skills
We have been negotiating all of our lives. From our bedtime as children to challenging a decision as a teenager to finding the right companionship as an adult. In today’s dynamic world, negotiation skills are critical for survival. It could be negotiating medical care costs, Retirement plans, or even Real Estate Investing. Negotiation is a fundamental life skill used to resolve differences and reach agreements between parties. It involves communication and compromise to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes, and our experts in this area of the site explore many of the situations where we have to negotiate whether we want to or not.
Active listening is essential in negotiation to truly understand and respond to the needs of the other party. Successful negotiations hinge on understanding needs, interests, and goals of all parties involved. Key elements include preparation, communication, and mutual respect. There are several types of negotiation, including distributive (win-lose), integrative (win-win), and multi-party negotiations.
Common mistakes in negotiation include poor preparation, emotional decision-making, and lack of flexibility. The negotiation process doesn’t end with an agreement. Effective follow-up ensures that agreements are implemented as intended and Relationships are maintained. Remember, negotiation is not about winning or losing, but achieving a mutually beneficial outcome.

You can read part one of this blog series by clicking here.The Danger of Minimizing Parkinson's Disease At a recent Parkinson’s summit, I found myself in a conversation that left my skin crawling. A coordinator asked a person with Parkinson’s (PWP) how he was doing. The PWP smiled and said, “I’ve learned Parkinson’s isn’t that bad.

But as I listened, it struck me that he wasn’t just sharing his experience—he was trying out a narra…
