Negotiation in Real Life

Negotiation is one of the most important skills for success in business and in life. But it's a skill we are rarely taught. For many of us, we develop our skills purely through trial and error. We see what works, discard what doesn't and if we're lucky, we'll have a few good mentors along the way. In this podcast, I want to help you to build your skills in a more structured way. We'll give you a taste of negotiation theory and I'll be speaking with guests from a range of backgrounds to hear about their experience and give you access to an even greater range of negotiation mentors.

Negotiation in Real Life
NIRL 49 - Ken Fehily - talking negotiation with Mr GST

In this episode of Negotiation in Real Life, I speak with Ken Fehily. Some of you might know 'Ken' as 'Mr. GST', a specialist accountant/economist who was one of the experts who assisted the treasurer and ATO write and implement the GST Law nearly a quarter century ago. He continues to specialize and advise the ATO, federal government, other professionals and businesses on GST, and tax reform.

He has over 3 decades of experience as a professional and non-exec director (often as chairman or treasurer) on government, industry, NFP and community boards and committees, across a wide spectrum of education, property, visual arts, museums, faith based organizations and is currently a volunteer first responder with SES rescue.

He spent decades as a senior international partner of the top global professional services firms, a sole practitioner since 2010, is a B.EC, FCAANZ, FCPA, CTA, GAICD, owned a contemporary art gallery, was married for 30 years and is a proud father of 4 inspiring children.

He's been rich, poor, homeless and owned a Toorak mansion. So one might say that over the years, he's been around, and remains persistently optimistic and enthusiastic.

Yet, despite his hard core disciplined side, 'Kenny' was also trained and exposed to matters involving the other creative and ‘feeling’ hemisphere of the brain and developed a warm, soft, understanding, gentle and empathetic side. That’s naturally led to him being sought out to coach, mentor and personally guide, formally or casually, a wide range of unique individuals, as unique as everyone around us all. Indeed, his testimonials range from a single Vietnamese boat refugee about in her 30s (he's never asked) through to a hard core conservative entrepreneurial board director in his 70s. It's unsurprisingly been described by some as a spirited and sometimes controversial persuader and negotiator.

In our discussion today, we speak about …

  • How he learned his negotiating skills
  • What he is doing now and his plans for the future
  • The best deal he’s ever negotiated

... and much much more.

Her first job, working as an analyst for the Australian Police of the back of a Bachelor of Science (Security) and post-graduate studies in Investigations and Criminal Intelligence, would have been enough for most people. Jemimah is not most people.

After meeting a silversmith in New York, she founded her own jewellery company, Tangs Design. As that went from a crazy idea, to a side project all the way to a stable company, she realised that she’d jumped in at the deep end of online promotion. As it turned out - she was pretty good at it!

Jemimah knew she wanted to educate people about business and went on to co-found The Business Experiment podcast which went on to become one of Australia’s fastest growing podcasts. Jemimah now exclusively works with people to do amazing expert at her business The Visibility Lab helping them get seen and featured in the media and getting massive exposure.  

She’s completed studies in Criminal Intelligence, speaks three languages and has extensive experience in teaching LGBTIQA+ issues in Government. Jemimah is a skilled actor and improvisor, is often found doing stand-up, blogging and writing.  

And she’s approached all of this with humour, passion, a fun loving attitude and enthusiasm.

NIRL 43 Karen Vickers - negotiating the transition to aged care

In this episode of Negotiation in Real Life, I speak with Karen Vickers. Karen is the CEO of ARC Wealth, which holds an Australian Financial Service Licence. She is also the Founder of Auxilliam – Before the Fall, which provides Aged Care Financial Advice to families when their elderly parents have had a fall, either mentally or physically, and are no longer able to live at home.

Karen has been in the financial services industry for over 30 years during which time she has helped many families navigate not only the financial but also the emotional complexities that families face when transitioning into Residential Aged Care.

During Covid, Karen experienced firsthand, how very vulnerable our elderly people are, when a very dear friend of hers was diagnosed with dementia without having Powers of Attorney in place, without having anyone to advocate for her and without any close family members nearby.

This in only one of the stories that Karen has experienced, and it is these stories that drive Karen to advocate for and support our elderly family members.

In our discussion today, we speak about:

  • the challenges of negotiating care for elderly parents, as adult children take on more responsibility for their care and living situations.
  • conflicts that can arise between family members in these situations, like disputes over inheritance or one child taking on more responsibility than others.
  • the lack of accountability and oversight sometimes seen in organizations handling finances and care for elderly people who can no longer make their own decisions.
  • the growing need for aged care advice and services as more people reach ages where they require support.

… and much much more.

NIRL 39 Steve Kraner - negotiation for the non-natural negotiator

In this episode of Negotiation in Real Life, I speak with Steve Kraner. Steve describes himself as NOT a natural negotiator or salesman. He describes himself as an engineer who crossed over to the dark side. A military officer and engineer by training, Steve found himself leading a sales team as part of a start-up. He had to sell to survive.

Negotiating with today’s savvy technology buyers is tougher today than ever. Steve’s updated approach to real-world sales negotiating recognizes that not all buyers are win/win negotiators. Many of today’s buyers are “players” who study negotiating and play to win. Steve’s Negotiating with the Savvy Software Buyer program gives your sales negotiators a look in the buyer’s handbook, so they can anticipate the buyer’s negotiating ploys. Steve has the unique ability to bring fun and extraordinary insight into the sometimes acrimonious world of software and SaaS negotiations.

In our discussion today, we speak about …

  • overcoming not being a natural negotiator
  • how the NATO Defence Planning Process can assist in negotiations
  • how role play can prepare you for a negotiation
  • Steve’s experience of a challenging sales negotiation

… and much much more.

Negotiation in Real Life
NIRL 36 Doug Noll - reducing strong emotions in 90 seconds

In this episode of Negotiation in Real Life, I speak with Doug Noll. Doug left a successful career as a trial lawyer to become a peacemaker. His calling is to serve humanity, and he executes his calling at many levels. He is an award-winning author, teacher, trainer, and a highly experienced mediator. Doug’s work carries him from international work to helping people resolve deep interpersonal and ideological conflicts to training life inmates to be peacemakers and mediators in maximum-security prisons.

His fourth book, De-Escalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less, was published by Beyond Word Publishing in September of 2017. De-Escalate is now in four languages and its second printing.

He is the co-founder of Prison of Peace, and creator of the Noll Affect Labeling System. In 2012, Doug was honored by California Lawyer Magazine as California Attorney of the Year.

In our discussion today, we speak about …

  • lessons in conflict resolution from tai chi
  • why a successful trial lawyer left legal practice
  • the extent to which our decisions are emotional rather than rational
  • what a redefined legal dispute resolution process may look like
  • the power of listening to emotions
  • how to use affect labelling and why it is so powerful

... and much, much, more.

Negotiation in Real Life
Negotiation is one of the most important skills for success in business and in life. But it's a skill we are rarely taught. For many of us, we develop our skills purely through trial and error. We see what works, discard what doesn't and if we're lucky, we'll have a few good mentors along the way. In this podcast, I want to help you to build your skills in a more structured way. We'll give you a taste of negotiation theory and I'll be speaking with guests from a range of backgrounds to hear about their experience and give you access to an even greater range of negotiation mentors.
