To Lead Is To Negotiate.
Mindful Negotiating is a training and advisory group cross-pollinating negotiation theory and practice from the worlds of international development, law enforcement, corporate education, academia, and government to equip systems-conscious, conflict capable teams.
What We Do
Design Workshops. Train teams. Coach Individuals. Teach courses. Advise M&A processes. Mediate disputes. Speak to audiences. Facilitate meetings.
Conflicts cause sparks; whether those sparks propel innovation or incinerate value depends upon an organization’s collective negotiation capability. In order to build a container that can harness the value of different perspectives we provide a shared language for navigating conflict with pressure-tested tools, simulation-based exercises, video review, and individualized coaching.

Max’s program on negotiation was engaging, informative, and entertaining. The lessons he presented were applicable to the practice of law, as well as negotiations in everyday life. Max is great at incorporating his audience into the program and delivered a truly interactive experience even in a virtual format.

Yes, Max comes with an impressive, indisputable negotiating resume. But, more than that, when it comes to training, he’s a breath of fresh mountain air. He’s real. He cares about his clients. He has a spirit of inquiry. He understands people. I wholeheartedly give Max a 5-star rating!

I was immediately impressed with how Max showed up as a subject matter expert and teammate. Max showed himself to be entirely self-possessed, a deeply skilled practitioner, great in front of an audience, and a creative and persistent problem solver. Max showed himself to be a consummate professional, an agile thinker, a great communicator, and a valuable teammate. I highly recommend Max.

Max is a natural teacher and he has a deep understanding of human interactions. It was powerful to learn from him how to use that knowledge to be effective in both business relationships and in my personal life to make sure that my negotiations are successful.

I think having Max as a coach in negotiation is similar to having a personal trainer in the gym. Whilst I can work out on my own, having a personal trainer/coach would push me much harder and in Max’s case, also provide an independent fresh mind, in order to achieve a better outcome!
