About the Book

The best things in life are on the other side of difficult conversations.This means that your quality of life is going to be determined by how you handle conflict, both within yourself and with others.
– Have you ever struggled in a difficult conversation?
– Have you ever let fear and anxiety prevent you from saying what needed to be said?
– Have you ever felt as though you didn’t know what to say?

Finding Confidence in Conflict (formerly titled Nobody Will Play With Me) will show you how to handle these negotiations and difficult conversations using the Compassionate Curiosity Framework. This framework designed to guide you through all of your difficult conversations, both at work and at home.We often make the mistake of assuming that our primary barriers to success in difficult conversations are strategic and tactical when the true issues are emotional and psychological.
This book utilizes the latest psychological research to help you to overcome these barriers and will also give you the confidence you need to engage in these difficult conversations persuasively and authentically.

You’ll learn…
– How to negotiate with yourself in order to gain control over your emotions, increase clarity, and improve your confidence.
– How to develop a winning mindset.
– How to consistently put yourself in the best position for success in your negotiations and difficult conversations.
– How to defuse potentially explosive conflicts before the conversation breaks down.

Kwame Christian, Esq., M.A. is the Director of the American Negotiation Institute. As a professor, attorney, and mediator with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Public Policy, and a Law Degree, Kwame brings a unique multidisciplinary approach to the topic of conflict management and negotiation.His TEDx Talk, Finding Confidence in Conflict, was the most popular TED Talk on the topic of conflict of 2017.

But in real life, your audience isn't sitting in the dark with popcorn, they're distracted, busy, and skeptical.
