Negotiate in Mediation for What You Need -- And Get It.
Face it: most of us are not very good at asking others for what we need. We tend to come off as either too aggressive or wishy-washy. Moreover, when we’re in conflict, our asking skills tend to deteriorate into either demanding bitchiness or passive-aggressiveness that descends into resentment. Not a good look, on anyone.
But, there’s a way to ask for what you need and to enlist others in giving it to you, by being respectfully assertive. It requires communicating clearly what your needs are, how others’ behavior affects you, and enlists others in satisfying your needs.
Testimonials
Robin helped to make a very difficult situation as smooth a transition as possible through her thorough knowledge and especially through her formidable interpersonal talents, creative solutions and negotiating skills. Throughout the emotionally arduous divorce process, I felt like I had a smart, powerful and determined advocate working with me to achieve the best possible positive outcome. And the voodoo divorce goddess on Robin's desk was a welcome inspiration too!Pia Cryztal, VP Creative Services
