How to Negotiate Without Feeling Pushy (or Getting Steamrolled)

Why Negotiation Isn’t Just for Boardrooms

Most people think negotiation is something lawyers or business executives do.
In reality, you’re negotiating all the time:

• Asking for a raise.

• Deciding where to eat.

• Splitting project responsibilities.

• Resolving a disagreement with a partner or friend.

The skill isn’t just about “winning” — it’s about finding the best outcome without burning bridges.

The Negotiation Method

Our Negotiation course walks you through analyzing real situations you face.
You’ll record:

• The context and stakes.

• What you wanted vs. what they wanted.

• The strategies you tried.

• How emotions influenced the outcome.

Your journal becomes a personal playbook of moves and counter-moves — built from your own life.

The Graduation Goal

You can journal your negotiations indefinitely, but the graduation milestone is a perfect 6-day streak:

• Six consecutive days where your entries max out all six negotiation skill scores.

• That means applying emotional control, strategic thinking, timing, persuasion, relationship management, and outcome tracking — all at your best.

Why It Works

1. Clarity under pressure: Writing it down helps you think more clearly in the next negotiation.

2. Pattern awareness: You’ll spot recurring mistakes or missed opportunities.

3. Confidence boost: Seeing your skill scores climb makes you more willing to engage.

Benefits You’ll Notice

• You won’t panic or freeze when stakes are high.

• You’ll find solutions that work for both sides.

• You’ll leave the table with relationships intact — and respect earned.
