The Art of Negotiation

Learn tactical empathy, persuasion, and negotiation strategy from a former FBI hostage negotiator. Skills that apply to every conversation.
Chris Voss spent 24 years negotiating with terrorists, kidnappers, and hostage-takers. In this MasterClass, he distils those high-stakes skills into techniques anyone can use — in salary negotiations, business deals, and everyday conversations. Learn tactical empathy, mirroring, labelling emotions, and the art of getting to 'yes' without compromise.
