Negotiation Skills: Tools for Every Part of Life

Negotiation is everywhere. Whether it’s arranging call coverage with colleagues or convincing your kids it’s bedtime, we’re negotiating daily. But mastering this skill takes strategy, empathy, and insight into human psychology. "Never Split the Difference" by former FBI negotiator Chris Voss offers exactly that. Voss shares the same negotiation techniques he used in high-stakes scenarios—getting terrorists to release hostages and convincing criminals to surrender—and shows how they apply to everyday life.

Through trust, empathy, and clear communication, Voss’s methods can change how you approach any negotiation. His book is a resource you’ll find yourself reading and referencing repeatedly, discovering new ways to apply these concepts each time. And for ongoing insights, check out his free newsletter and masterclasses. For any surgeon looking to strengthen this essential skill, “Never Split the Difference” is a must-read.
