If you've ever felt like you're living someone else's story, this is the conversation you've been waiting for.

On the show this week, Dr. Christopher Meyer, author of "Settle for More" and one of the Global Guru's Top 30 Thought Leaders in Negotiation for 2025, shares his expertise on the critical differences between negotiation strategy and tactics, and why a strong planning mindset is key to successful deals. Chris breaks down his unique approach to negotiation—shifting from a traditional "win-win" mindset to focusing on how everyone at the table can truly gain. He shares his favorite negotiation tactics, the importance of preparation, and how to handle those infamous hardball negotiation techniques from buyers. Additionally, Chris provides us with valuable dos and don'ts for negotiators and offers a memorable real-world example from his own high-stakes experience in the tech sector. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Consider long-term strategy and adapt tactics to each negotiation based on your relationship. [04:22] Adopt a gain-focused mindset in negotiation for mutual benefits. [07:08] Spend 80% of your time on planning to ensure smooth negotiations. [10:12] Focus on building relationships and value, not just achieving quotas. [13:22] Mutually beneficial relationships require both parties to gain. [17:29] The breakthrough moment shifted Chris's approach from adversarial to collaborative. Beyond Win-Win—Negotiation with a Mindset for Gain Negotiation lies at the heart of successful sales, but too often it conjures images of hard-nosed tactics, adversarial posturing, and zero-sum outcomes.  One of Chris's most compelling messages is about the mindset underpinning successful negotiation. Instead of getting stuck in old “win-lose” or even “win-win” mentalities, he encourages negotiators to focus on mutual gain so that everyone in the room can gain. Negotiation, at its core, should be about finding ways for all parties to walk away recognizing value, making the process constructive, not combative. This sets the stage for strong, lasting business relationships. When both sides gain, collaboration and repeat business become far more likely. Favorite Tactics: Trade Offs, Value Creation, and Contingencies With the right mindset in place, tactical execution becomes nuanced and effective. Chris shares his three preferred tactics: Trade-Offs: Look for opportunities to give the other party a gain in exchange for something valuable in return. Value Creation: Identify and offer unique, specific benefits in the negotiation that can enhance the outcome for all. Contingencies: Structure deals so that additional benefits are provided if the counterpart reciprocates—making negotiations dynamic and adaptable. These approaches move beyond bargaining chips and price discussions; they're about co-creating solutions that satisfy both parties' core interests. Planning is the Unsung Hero of Negotiation A recurring theme in the podcast is the overwhelming importance of planning. Chris advocates for an “80/20 rule,” encouraging negotiators to spend 80% of their time preparing and only 20% executing. Deep preparation isn't just about knowing your own needs, but also anticipating the objectives and potential moves of your counterpart. Thorough planning means you're never blindsided by tough questions or aggressive tactics, and you're positioned to create and communicate value confidently.  When it comes to those famously tricky buyer tactics—take-it-or-leave-it offers, extreme anchoring, and last-minute demands, Chris' advice is twofold: first, be prepared (so you spot them coming), and second, show grace. Rather than meet aggression with aggression, view these moves as products of outdated training and use the opportunity to steer negotiations toward collaborative problem-solving. Chris' Do's and Don'ts for Better Negotiations Chris offers a succinct checklist for sales professionals: Do: Ask Questions & Be Curious: Seek to understand before seeking to be understood Develop Value: Bring as much as you can to the table Ensure All Parties Benefit: Winning together encourages long-term success. Don't: Don't Lie: Honesty fuels trust Don't Obfuscate: Clear communication prevents misunderstandings Don't Threaten: Ultimatums close minds and kill creativity When both sides are focused on gain—and negotiators put in the work to prepare, ask, and listen—outcomes exceed expectations. For anyone in sales, the path forward is clear: trade old mindsets for a commitment to curiosity, collaboration, and planning, and you'll champion not just your own success, but the reputation of the entire profession.

As a stockbroker and Registered Investment Advisor, owning his own firm and with multiple offices nationwide, Guy managed investment portfolios for thousands of clients and many millions of dollars.In 2008 he was accused of money laundering and mail fraud and despite his vehement denials, as well as passing multiple Polygraph tests, Guy, nearly four years later, was sentenced to prison for thirteen years, of which he eventually served nine.

Summary In this candid live-stream conversation, Andy chats with content creator and project leader Stuart Taylor, the mind behind the Influential PMO platform and the Stuart Taylor Project YouTube channel. They dig into the difference between influencers and thought leaders, how to choose topics that genuinely help practitioners, and what to do when metrics don't match the effort. Stuart shares practical strategies for building professional visibility on LinkedIn and YouTube, including how to craft resonant messages, handle trolls, and focus on service over self-promotion. The discussion also explores Stuart's experiment asking whether AI could manage a project. Spoiler: AI is a strong team member for first drafts and research, but a weak project manager. They wrap with career advice for today's shifting job market, including why to think like an internal consultant and how to future-proof your career by learning in public. If you're looking for insights on personal branding, creator tactics, and AI's real role in project work, this episode is for you! Sound Bites Regarding AI: "It cannot be the project manager. It's spineless. It is a weakling leader." "There is no such thing as a permanent job anymore." “Share what you know and people will be drawn to you for what you are sharing.” “Learn to make a resonating message. Learn how to share value.” “I never did this to become internet famous… What problem do I want to solve? That's it.” “Because you don't understand how the algorithm works. You think your whole network's ignoring you, and in fact, all that's happened is maybe less than 10% of your network has seen the message before the algorithm realized that your message wasn't resonating.” “It will be the penny pinching execs who want to save a few dollars, who will take your job, and they'll replace it with a machine that can do 50% of your job for a fraction of your price, and they'll live with the 50% they can't do.” Chapters 00:00 Start of Live Stream 02:13 Thoughts on Influencers and Thought Leaders 05:28 Deciding on Video Content 07:34 Views and Metrics 14:41 The Creative Process and Challenges 18:28 Sharing Knowledge and Building a Community 18:49 Navigating Social Media: The Good, The Bad, and The Trolls 19:18 Handling Criticism and Building Connections 24:37 The Role of AI in Project Management 29:10 The Future of Work: AI, Automation, and Adaptation 36:24 Staying Curious and Embracing Change Learn More You can learn more about Stuart and his work here: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/skt Website: InfluentialPMO.com YouTube: Stuart Taylor Project Thank you for joining me for this episode of The People and Projects Podcast!

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The foundations for creating executive presence lie in being present - giving genuine attention to what's in front of you. Being present - free from urgency, distractions and personal agendas - and listening with a genuinely open mind, is both at the heart of building an authentic personal brand, and an expression of your impact and effectiveness as a leader. Being a leader is not about having all the answers but about creating space for curiosity and learning for you and for others around you. To lead well, be aware of your own personal narratives, and then consciously choose how you want to show up for yourself and for others.

In this insightful episode, Michael D. Levitt explores the Square Management System Alignment Model, a framework by Matthew Person designed to foster organizational alignment without the need for micromanagement. Developed by Matthew from Town Square Advisors, this model is grounded in real-world executive and M&A experience. It focuses on aligning employee beliefs and behaviors with company systems to prevent culture drift and enable long-term, sustainable growth. Michael underscored the urgent need for such systems, sharing examples of organizations that significantly improved through alignment—not turnover—by earning employee trust and recognizing internal capability. The Power of “Constrained Independence” Matthew introduced the concept of constrained independence, a four-part management model built on Identity, Instruction, Intercommunication, and Information, with ten key operational elements. This framework helps leaders strike a balance between empowering staff and maintaining clarity. Listeners were invited to assess their own organizations using a free quiz at TownSquareAdvisors.com. Michael emphasized the importance of continuous monitoring and cultural measurement—warning that top-down approaches to diversity and alignment can sometimes lead to unintended tension unless rooted in authenticity and openness. Lessons from Championship Teams Drawing from professional sports, Michael shared a compelling analogy about leadership, team culture, and performance. While the 1990s New York Yankees focused on acquiring high-priced talent, it was the Boston Red Sox's commitment to balanced teams and deep culture, under leaders like Tito Francona, that ultimately led to their championships. The lesson? A deep bench, clear roles, and trust in your team's abilities drive real, repeatable success. Trust, Decision-Making, and Human-Centered Leadership Trust emerged as a recurring theme—especially in how it empowers independent decision-making and employee engagement. Matthew contrasted toxic, high-constraint workplaces with cultures that reward initiative. Michael reflected on his own experience of being hired for his potential, not just his résumé, and how adaptable systems that honor both organizational needs and individual strengths pave the way for high-performance cultures. Hiring, Retention, and Thriving Work Environments With over 18 years of leadership experience, Michael emphasized the importance of cultivating an environment where employees can grow, not just work. Culture isn't one-size-fits-all—it's about designing systems and environments where your people can thrive. He challenged the myth of a “correct culture,” advocating instead for cultural authenticity and values-based alignment tailored to each organization. Ethical Offboarding and Supporting Career Growth When it comes to letting people go, Michael shared his values-driven approach: treat exits with dignity, and support people in finding better fits elsewhere. Drawing on personal experiences from both sides of the table, he emphasized the long-term value of trust, transparency, and doing what's best for the individual, even when it's a tough call. Culture Meets Data: Using Analytics to Lead Smarter To round out the discussion, Matthew dove into how the Square Management System uses analytics to assess culture across various organizational levels. This diagnostic tool is especially helpful for startups and mission-driven entrepreneurs aiming to build cohesive teams from the start. The system doesn't promise perfection, but it delivers clarity—giving leaders the actionable insights they need to close culture gaps, improve communication, and align operations with purpose. Listeners are encouraged to explore the free tools and resources at TownSquare-Advisors.com.   Welcome to another episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, where we dive deep with leaders reshaping how we work, lead, and live. Today's guest is Matt Person—a strategic powerhouse with more than two decades of experience in M&A, organizational design, and aligning people with purpose. Matt is the mind behind the Square Management System, a practical framework that brings clarity and cohesion to companies' operations by aligning people, processes, and performance. His upcoming book, The Culture of Alignment, explores this in depth and is a must-read for leaders building resilient, high-performing organizations. With a career that spans global corporate development, private equity-backed ventures, and even a decade in professional baseball leadership, Matt brings a truly unique perspective. Recognized as a Rising Star by the Colorado Springs Business Journal and a Thought Leader of the Year finalist by the Alliance of M&A Advisors, his credentials are only matched by his passion for excellence. Matt holds an MBA and an MS in Finance from Boston College, and a degree from Colgate University. He's a guest lecturer, frequent industry speaker, and lives just outside Boston with his family—when he's not refining growth strategies, you'll find him on the golf course, hunting down vintage cars, or scouting out his next favorite restaurant.

We believe that every presentation, whether internal or external, at a conference or at a board meeting, has the power to shift how your audience views a topic and the positive changes that can come as a result. It's not just about delivering information – it's about shifting perspectives, sparking new ideas, and inspiring action. This episode is the audio from a live show we did with two of our recent Thought Leader Academy grads: Dr. Bonnie Boles and Denise Cárdenas López.  Both Bonnie and Denise are executives at companies and often present both internally to team members as well as externally at conferences and to groups.  When we worked with them in a VIP Day to create their signature talk as part of the Thought Leader Academy, we kept both of these audiences in mind.  You'll get to hear Bonnie and Denise deliver a 10-minute version of their new signature talk. We also have a roundtable discussion about what they've learned from being in the Thought Leader Academy and what's next for them as speakers and thought leaders.   Links:  Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/437/  Watch the video at https://youtube.com/live/FuUSOnXMYPg Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/ Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/    Connect on LinkedIn: Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcox Diane Diaz = https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianediaz/ Dr. Bonnie Boles = https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonnie-boles-md-mba-chcio-fccp-09b69792/  Denise Cárdenas López = https://www.linkedin.com/in/denisecardenaslopez/  Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 431: Why Your Tech Presentations Aren't Landing - and How to Fix Them Episode 355: What a Signature Talk Is and What It Should be Doing for You

A pronatalist policy that ignores the need for workplace flexibility is self-defeating—without remote options, the $5,000 baby bonus becomes a short-term perk that fails to support long-term family growth or retain key talent. That's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, which describes how the administration's RTO crusade smothers its pronatalist promise.This article forms the basis for this episode: https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/the-administrations-rto-crusade-smothers-its-pronatalist-promise/

Prepare for game-changing AI insights! Join Noelle Russell, CEO of the AI Leadership Institute and author of Scaling Responsible AI: From Enthusiasm to Execution. Noelle, an AI pioneer, shares her journey from the early Alexa team with Jeff Bezos, where her unique perspective shaped successful mindfulness apps. We'll explore her "I Love AI" community, which has taught over 3.4 million people. Unpack responsible, profitable AI, from the "baby tiger" analogy for AI development and organizational execution, to critical discussions around data bias and the cognitive cost of AI over-reliance.Key Moments: Journey into AI: From Jeff Bezos to Alexa (03:13): Noelle describes how she "stumbled into AI" after receiving an email from Jeff Bezos inviting her to join a new team at Amazon, later revealed to be the early Alexa team. She highlights that while she lacked inherent AI skills, her "purpose and passion" fueled her journey."I Love AI" Community & Learning (11:02): After leaving Amazon and experiencing a personal transition, Noelle created the "I Love AI" community. This free, neurodiverse space offers a safe environment for people, especially those laid off or transitioning careers, to learn AI without feeling alone, fundamentally changing their life trajectories.The "Baby Tiger" Analogy (17:21): Noelle introduces her "baby tiger" analogy for early AI model development. She explains that in the "peak of enthusiasm" (baby tiger mode), people get excited about novel AI models, but often fail to ask critical questions about scale, data needs, long-term care, or what happens if the model isn't wanted anymore.Model Selection & Explainability (32:01): Noelle stresses the importance of a clear rubric for model selection and evaluation, especially given rapid changes. She points to Stanford's HELM project (Holistic Evaluation of Language Models) as an open-source leaderboard that evaluates models on "toxicity" beyond just accuracy.Avoiding Data Bias (40:18): Noelle warns against prioritizing model selection before understanding the problem and analyzing the data landscape, as this often leads to biased outcomes and the "hammer-and-nail" problem.Cognitive Cost of AI Over-Reliance (44:43): Referencing recent industry research, Noelle warns about the potential "atrophy" of human creativity due to over-reliance on AI. Key Quotes:"Show don't tell... It's more about understanding what your review board does and how they're thinking and what their backgrounds are... And then being very thoughtful about your approach."  - Noelle Russell"When we use AI as an aid rather than as writing the whole thing or writing the title, when we use it as an aid, like, can you make this title better for me? Then our brain actually is growing. The creative synapses are firing away." Noelle Russell"Most organizations, most leaders... they're picking their model before they've even figured out what the problem will be... it's kind of like, I have a really cool hammer, everything's a nail, right?"  - Noelle RussellMentions:"I Love AI" CommunityScaling Responsible AI: From Enthusiasm to Execution - Noelle Russell"Your Brain on ChatGPT" - MIT Media LabPower to Truth: AI Narratives, Public Trust, and the New Tech Empire - StanfordMeta-learning, Social Cognition and Consciousness in Brains and MachinesHELM - A Reproductive and Transparent Framework for Evaluating Foundation ModelsGuest Bio: Noelle Russell is a multi-award-winning speaker, author, and AI Executive who specializes in transforming businesses through strategic AI adoption.
