In this episode of Something to Consider, we sit down with the incredible Lousin Mehrabi—a world-renowned professional negotiator, trainer, and speaker whose work spans billion-dollar IPOs to high-stakes peace-building efforts.
But beyond the boardroom, Lousin brings a fresh perspective: negotiation isn’t just about deals—it’s about finding clarity, peace, and even courage in life’s most defining moments.
We explore the unspoken negotiations we have every day, the difference between compromise and fairness, and why emotional intelligence is the real superpower in any conflict. Lousin also shares her deeply personal journey navigating her son’s diagnosis with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, reshaping resilience, surrender, and what it truly means to be in control.
This is an episode about reframing power, making peace with ourselves, and understanding that negotiation is so much more than we think. We hope you’ll find something to consider.
