"Thanks Thomas. Great presentation on material that is really relevant. As a person with over 20 years in public accounting, it's my experience the negotiation skills are very necessary yet not well taught or developed in employees. I appreciate you sharing your time and knowledge."

"Great content. Lots of useful information and strategies. My two biggest takeaways are: "Emotion is the enemy of Negotiation and the best strategy is to be dispassionate and compassionate at the same time." Impressive presentation."

David, OH

"Great presenter - a non-threatening approach to fixing negotiations. If you are tired of the ongoing lack of civility and presumptive communications around internal and external communications - this is a great start."
