Why Fear, Not Skill, Is Your Biggest Negotiation Problem - Kathryn Valentine
Manage episode 509064381 series 2285815
Fear, not skill, is what’s costing you opportunities at the negotiation table.
In this powerful conversation, negotiation experts Kwame Christian and Kathryn Valentine expose the hidden reason most people fail to ask for what they deserve. It’s not a lack of strategies — it’s the fear of rejection, backlash, or simply starting the conversation.
You’ll learn:
The one simple question that can unlock raises, promotions, and perks instantly.
How to turn a “no” into opportunity without burning bridges.
Why negotiation isn’t about your worth — and what it’s really about.
The hidden ROI of just five hours a year of negotiation practice (hint: it can be worth $1M+).
How fear shows up differently for men and women — and what to do about it.
If you’ve ever walked away from a tough conversation kicking yourself for staying silent, this episode will show you how to step in with clarity, confidence, and courage.
