You & The Police by Boston T. Party

You & The Police by Boston T. Party is an important book in that is provides an easy reference to our constitutional rights when dealing with police and other law enforcement officials. I agree with the book’s tag line that, “if you don’t know your rights, you have none.” You do not have to share Boston’s political views and opinions of the government and law enforcement to gain valuable knowledge from this book, and it is knowledge that I believe ...

Be Brave Be Bold

Those who achieve greatness don’t sit on the sidelines watching others. The greatest achievements are not made by wallflowers sitting back and waiting for others to do things. It is those individuals that act boldly, and to use the line from Star Trek, and go where no other has gone before, that earn the respect of others and get the most rewards. To achieve success, you must be brave and and you must be bold.

You’ll be more recognized and will ...

Negotiate With the Home Field Advantage

Ask any sports team if they would rather play at home or on the road. Without exception, you’ll hear them reply that they prefer to play on their home field or court. They are more comfortable at home and have greater fan support. They won’t have to deal with unfamiliar territory or the hassles associated with travel. Additionally, their home field or court is the place where their opponents will be the most uncomfortable. This ...

Nolo’s Crash Course in Small Business Basics

Nolo’s Crash Course in Small Business Basics is just what it claims to be. It is a very good source for basic business information. It is provided on 5 audio CDs that are approximately one hour each. The packaging is not as fancy as many of the other audio programs I have, but that does not distract from what is important, the content. (Basically you have five CDs in slip covers inside the box).

The information on the five CDs ...

Larry Winget’s Warrior Words of Wisdom

As far as I know, Larry Winget was never in the Military.  (However, one of his sons served with the 82nd Airborne Division)  I also don’t believe Larry studied martial arts, nor did he study the Asian warrior texts like I have.  (Sun Tzu’s Art of War and Miyamoto Musashi’s The Book of Five Rings (Go Rin No Sho) being two of the most famous.)  Regardless of the lack of military or martial background, Larry Winget definitely understands and lives ...

Five Reasons Why People Pay More

The reasons people pay more for products and services are important to everyone in sales, and equally important to the negotiator. When negotiating, you must ask for what you want, and that often means demanding a price for a particular product or service. If the other side does not want to pay what you are asking, it is up to you to illustrate why the price you have set is reasonable. There are many various reasons people ...

Determine Your Position Before Negotiations Begin

I’m often surprised when I mediate matters and the parties have not determined their position before the meeting. Sometimes, it is in caucus that they first think about what they really want. Because a mediation is basically an assisted negotiation, I find myself assisting people with figuring out what they want and how they may get it. Because I’m a neutral, I do this with both sides, and it is most often done by asking questions ...

Who Goes First When Negotiating?

One of the topics I taught last week during the 40 hour mediation course was negotiation, and during that session we discussed who goes first. Here are a few things to consider regarding this important phase of negotiations.

All negotiations must start somewhere, but who should go first? Many advocate that it is better to wait for your opponent to make the first offer in negotiations. In the bestseller “What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School,” Mark H. ...
