Next Level Negotiation Skills With Chris Voss – This Week's Six Pixels Of Separation Podcast

Episode #605 of Six Pixels of Separation – The Mirum Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.

His book is easily one of the best books that I have read in a very long time. The concept of negotiating has been a hot topic for authors and business speakers for a very long time. Still, Chris Voss is truly brilliant and his book, Never Split The Difference – Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It, is just chock full of genius from start to finish. Chris was the lead international kidnapping negotiator for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as the FBI’s hostage negotiation representative for the National Security Council’s Hostage Working Group. Prior to becoming the FBI lead international kidnapping negotiator, Christopher served as the lead Crisis Negotiator for the New York City Division of the FBI. Christopher was a member of the New York City Joint Terrorist Task Force for 14 years. During Chris’s 24 year tenure in the Bureau, he was trained in the art of negotiation by not only the FBI but Scotland Yard and Harvard Law School. He is also a recipient of the Attorney General’s Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement and the FBI Agents Association Award for Distinguished and Exemplary Service. Chris currently teaches business negotiation in the MBA program as an adjunct professor at University of Southern California‘s Marshall School of Business and at Georgetown University‘s McDonough School of Business. So, yeah, he knows a thing or two (or a million) about how to get things done. It’s been a while since I was this nervous to speak with a book author (because I admire his work so much). Enjoy the conversation…
