I went to the best CE class yesterday! We talked a lot about expectations vs. reality and let me tell you that my expectation and reality for this class were very far apartā¦in a good way! It was about negotiating, but it sure didnāt feel like it. The instructor cried, classmates cried. I may have been a little teary a time or two. Basically, it boiled down to taking care of people, treating others with love, positive reinforcement and going above expectations and when you do these things, youāre going to get a yes more than a no. You get what you give, reap what you sow.
He said āThe best negotiators are diplomats.ā and according to Sir David Frost, āDiplomacy is the art of letting someone else have your way."
