* It is not the person across the table who scares us, but conflict itself. We overwhelmingly resort to flight in fight-or-flight.
* Genuine, honest conflict between people over their goals helps energize the problem-solving process in a collaborative way.
* Every negotiation, every conversation, every moment of life is a series of small conflicts that can rise to creative beauty. Embrace them.

#### Additional Notes

## Labeling

>It seem like...(obvious thing they are feeling)
It looks like....(obvious thing they are feeling)
It sounds like....

E.g. “You seem like you don’t want to go back to jail.”

Repeat back what they are feeling. By acknowledging their feelings you validate them.

Labeling your mistakes is the most effective way to rebuild trust. (“Look, I’m an asshole”) works wonders.

## No
No is not a word to be feared, it is not the end of a conversation, it is the beginning of it.

No really means one of these:
- You are making me feel uncomfortable
- I am not yet ready to agree
- I am uncomfortable
- I do not understand
- I don’t think I can afford it
- I want something else
- I want to talk it over with someone else

After the no, pause then label with an ask:
- what would you need to make it work?
- It seems there is something here that bothers you?


## Thats right

The goal is not to get people to say “yes”, since they rarely mean it, the magic is when they say “that’s right”

Get the other person to say “that’s right”. Do this by summarizing their believes so they feel understood.


## 6 steps to negotiation

1. Silence
2. Encouraging “unhunh I’m listening”
3. Mirroring
4. Labeling
5. Paraphrase
6. Summarize (paraphrase + labeling)

## Questions in negotiations

"What" and "how" are the only type of questions you should ask.

e.g.

> How am I supposed to do that?
What about this doesn't work for you?
How can I make this better for us?
How can we solve this problem?
What are we trying to accomplish here?
