Negotiating when you have nothing to give away

This is my signature and most in demand speech. Through stories, I explore the skills and models used by hostage negotiators that allow them to successfully resolve high-risk incidents, when they are negotiating from a position of weakness, with no leverage and nothing to give away. This session, supported by jaw-dropping stories explores skill areas such a connecting with people, listening to identify values and beliefs and then using them to change behaviour.

Listening like a life depends on it

What is the key skill of a hostage negotiator?
Is it smart talking?
Jedi mind tricks?
The ability to hold their nerve in crazy, fast moving situations?

In this session, I explore the real hostage negotiator superpower… the ability to connect, develop trust, get people talking and influence them using elite level listening.

How much information, how much business, are you and your team missing out on because of a lack of listening?

Lessons from the edge of chaos

Have you ever wondered what skills hostage negotiators use to bring life or death situations to a safe conclusion… and how those skills, honed in the rarely seen world of hostage negotiation can help you and your team? Then wonder no more….

In this speech, I lift the lid off life as a hostage negotiator, telling audiences no only what they do, but how they do it… and how it can help your organisation communicate and negotiate better.
