I stumbled into "negotiation" / "empathy" as an elementary teacher. A kid walked in my class in the morning completely pissed off. I knew he was about to cause issues for the day. I asked him what was wrong. He didn't say anything. I said "I am curious because you seem upset." He said that morning his mom got him in trouble for something he didn't do. I replied, "I get it. That is the worst when my mom would do that to me, too. what happened" All of a sudden, he unclenched his fists, the anger on his face left, and he told me his story and had a good rest of the day. I am reading "Never Split the Difference" a second time and searching him on youtube for more insights he has. Good stuff in this video.

21:35 "Never be so sure of what you want that you wouldn't take something better." I really like that

Ever since I read this book, I actively seek out conflict. I think it backfired. 😂

Great interview! I have read Chris's book a few times already n have been employing his techniques. The trick is to remember to use his teqnique once u have been triggered to respond, which is not always easy. For me when my gf is being difficult with me. I get triggered n upset n forget to use Chiss's tecniques, but then after the argument is done n im sitting there thinking; where did i go wrong? Thats when it hits me! I should have asked "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?" Or used some other technique condusive to my desired results. I finally rememered to use his teqnique in a time of contention. She was being difficult and unreasonable with her demands. So with a calm FM DJ voice I asked "How am I supposed to do that?". Then used an effective pause. Her face softened n it was as if she had jumped in my shoes n walked me through the problem. Upon verbalizing n realizing that it was an unreasonable request I was immediately released from the hook n told not to worry about it. Yay! I was so happy I was able to avoid an argument n even come out on top. Nowadays I like to ask no orientated questions to get what I want cause she is very sensitive to reverse pychology. If I say "we should do this", she automatically wants to do the opposite. But if i say "Is it a bad idea to do this" because there is a chance she may already want to, she will probably give me a reason why it may be bad so i understand her situation but will eventually succumb to the idea upon her "own" percieved terms. hehehe! ;) She is my rock which I Sharpen my skills on n she doesnt even know it :) Now I have started to employ these techniques with my boss, my teenage son n life in general n I am gettjng tremendous results. Its like I have a super power. I can talk people through a situation or problem guiding them to the solution or results that im looking for n it is becoming easier n easier everyday! Thank you Chris! Your a genius and a life saver. Once understood, your techniques are simple and effective to employ. The most powerful technique that Chris has reminded me of is that. PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE HEARD N UNDERSTOOD! Thank you! Sincerely, Wass.

Excellent presentation by Chris Voss & very effective moderation by Mairin Chesney. She could work for Black Swan.

I've read his book and I'm still taking notes over here as I watch this

Lesson: 1. Active Listening 2. Try to understand and unleash the emotions of the negotiator because sometimes even he can't put words to those emotions. 3. Tactical Empathise. 4. Calibrated questions Fear of loss can get people to negotiate as it drives our decisions, hard bargaining gets you loss in long-term, the closer you are to someone the harder it will be to recognise what you are being accounted for the anger(i.e. the harder it will be to find that black swan)

I’m learning not to take anything people say or do personally. Instead, I try to read between the lines of what they say and what they don’t say to get an idea of how they feel about me.

I feel that empathy in response to "that's right" is truly a magical helper!

How is it that a deplorable situation such as a hostage situation can teach us how to communicate?? He literally capitalized on a negative human action, teaching us how to fundamentally communicate, instead of combating each other. The irony that he’s divorced. Which speaks volumes to all of us. Not intended to debase him, just a realization that no matter how we think and feel, interactions and relationships will always be a learning process of growth.

I loved listening to Chris, the content is refreshingly honest and the accent is charming.

This talk inspired me to be more empathetic with my customers and create a sales experience where they are left satisfied with the way that they arrived at their decision to buy or not. I’m going to get his book 100%

Pretty insightful. Much of this is practised by world-class litigators every day. There are few times in life where negotiating to convince a jury not to send your client to prison for life, without parole, is more intense. And we only get to talk at them. Not getting feedback is much more difficult but that's where reading body language is key.

I think that the underlying point in all of this is that the people who can help you are often the very same people who can hurt you. From that perspective, empathy is fundamental to giving you the roadmap to understanding how you can reach a mutually helpful position in any negotiation or even average conversations. Mirroring is a brilliant way of overtly showing your counterpart empathy. I love it. Chris's book and his speaking engagements have totally changed my life.

Never Split the Difference is such an incredible book. Avoiding the yes/no binary is key to negotiations, and Never Split the Difference illustrates that concept in a way that completely changes how to approach every negotiation.

He said its harder to negotiate with someone close to you. I guess we get emotional with someone close to us that closes our brain to think effectively. But once we are done and over the person, we are less emotional and able to negotiate better because we know that other person more than anyone does. I experience this. Awesome speaker. Thank you very much.

I am LITERALLY sitting here commenting about parenting and I have to erase and start over because you’re talking about parenting lol! Love this. Okay. So growing up both of my parents were very tough. But I always tell people my mother taught me everything I need to NOT do as a parent myself. She was very abusive and I won’t go into detail. My father, however, never laid a hand on me. He was tough, consistent, and I respected him very much. The difference was, my mother raised on the premise of fear. My father raised me to respect him. Both were effective until I was older, stronger, and no longer scared of my mother. I was 15. This seems to be the underlying method of your approach. You said your Harvard colleagues all brought the same ideas to the table, but different circumstances essentially. So, I share this hoping to offer another perspective for those viewing. Thank you very much for your time. 💋❤️🌹

Therefore what you care about is an emotion, how you feel about things. So let's start with the idea that we are emotional to begin with". From a heart-based Leadership perspective, it is important to observe that all thoughts are emotionalized thought every emotion has associated thoughts with it. This connects with both our values, vision, mission, purpose - ethical chamber of the heart - (which are emotionally charged) and our emotional management capabilities - emotional chamber of the heart - self-and social awareness, self and social emotional management.

When you purchased your last car, did the salesperson like you? Mine did, not love me, but made him laugh about stuff related to his job. He was more open to show me the best deal fast, I still got a little more, but there is a bottom line. We got to it and closed the deal. Because I was nice, he found ways to give 3 free oil changes and tire rotations, without me asking. I got more than I expected. We joked about how the car was on empty when test driven. My comment was a trailer of cars will full tanks is a fire hazard in an accident. He said he never thought about that, makes sense. Plus people could steal the gas in the cars if parked somewhere cause people have no issue stealing from a company as they know no one owns the cars. Well with the dialog, we told me all sorts of info. Like this was him coming in on a day off to try an make a year end sale. I knew I could ask for a little more at that point, and I got it! But overall, we both won, total time was 4 hours and all taken care of. Was the best car sales experience ever. No wonder the salesman had been successful for 13 years. Negotiation is life.

I tell people she talks about trauma but all I have in my life is drama and melodrama. But what she teaches is helpful for everyone I talk to. And it helps me recognize and let people open up when they talk about trauma, or drama. Listening is one of the hardest and useful things we can learn. This backs up everything you say in Never Split The Difference. You started me on a long journey of daily reading books and watching videos like this one.

Great interview and great interviewer!

I loved the audiobook so much, that i did buy the physical book afterward. It even directly helped me with my upcoming project negotiations as a freelance designer! Thank you so much Chriss Voss!

Fantastic presentation

Excelent way of delivering great information.

Excellent interview. From my analysis, Chris Voss is a ENTJ-A.

Don't you think he's more of a sensor? Since he seems like a very practical guy and knows a lot of facts and quotes.

​@@jasperwiggerink7153You mean a Sentinel? It's possible he has certain traits in varying percentages from the sentinels, and as he stated himself, he has picked up certain traits from other personality types on his journey (as many of us of all personality types tend to in one degree or another). Of the four sentinels, if he is one, he is not in my opinion a 'Logistitian' (ISTJ), as though they have dominant traits, they lack the charisma of the Analysts that carefully maneuver that dominance (though the possibility does remain), and have a disdain for mental manipulations (which would be difficult to balance being a negotiator). ENTJ's, the 'Commander', are Analysts, and he has that in spades. One easy way to get an idea rather than an educated guess, would be take down copies of some of his lectures and musings, and run it through a program based on the Big Five with the MBTI acronyms as above. ENTJ's believe in logic over emotion, and are strong rational minds, much like the INTJ's (known as the 'Architect' or 'Mastermind', like Elon Musk. Used for most villains in the movies funnily enough) who are purely rationalists (many viewing overt displays of emotion as weak) and fall under the category of Analysts, being highly analytical and methodical in their approach to everything, both types being prone to perfectionism and very particular about the details. Analysts are obsessed with facts and figures, especially INTJ's. He seems slightly more extroverted than an INTJ, though this could just be a professional front. If he is a Sentinel (having sensing 'S'), and not an Analyst (having intuition 'N'), then I would place him possibly as the 'Executive' personality, a ESTJ (plus assertive rather than turbulent as the fifth variable), a ESTJ-A. Would be good to nail it down, so if you have any comments in this regard, I'd be very interested. Actually, now that I think about it, he could indeed be a 'Logistitian', which have a personality very close to the Analysts (especially the INTJ). It is difficult to place him definitively, without comparing data across types. He seems more extroverted, though hard to tell as mentioned. If he is slightly extroverted, as a Sentinel, then that would slot him back into 'Executive'. Hard to say really.

@@afpbrisbane Hi, first of all I'm not a expert on this, i just think it's fun to type people. I agree he's not an ISTJ, or an INTJ (which i am myself). He could very well be an ENTJ, however there are some things I notice by the way he speaks about things that make me conclude that he's an ESTJ. First of all, ENTJ's tend to be very driven by a vision. ESTJ's tend to keep the conversations more down to earth. He seems to think in a very algoritmic way, as in "if you do A, then B will happen", which is very *STJ like. I also think he's an extrovert, which is hard to conclude in interviews. His profession seems to me like something an extrovert would be more likely to be interested in. He's also more assertive like you said (he even descibes himself assertive here: 8:36).

. Inspiring quote from Chris Voss for you, "Well, the problem with that kind of an approach is if you hammer somebody in a negotiation, they're going to wait for the rest of their life to pay you back. And you don't hammer people that you never see again. There's no such thing as a one-off. They're going to be people that stay in your world one way or another, either your day to day life or they will see you again. So you want to negotiate successfully with people where afterwards they call you up on the phone and they say, nice job. Nice job." kzread.info/dash/bejne/mamOw5mmgbmXnJM.html

"First of all thanks for giving me a chair, I appreciate that"... haha, I appreciate this subtle type of humor.

Provided me with useful advice when speaking and negotiating. I would say in context of hostage, if someone is talking to you, he wants something from you. In other situation is different. For example, sometimes, people like emotional connection. If he wants to say hi and cares about you, he may not want anything back from you. It's like having a dog, we care about our puppy and want our puppy to live happy. We don't expect our puppy to do anything for us except loving us back.

I like the "black swan" references. I've also found it in Taleb's works ( can't remember if he's the author or not of this term ), but a black swan is basically an event, that happens rarely, it is unpredictable, and has an immense downside, just like an armed robbery with hostages. Happens probably once in 1 or 2 decades, but the maximum possible downside is a lot of people injured or/and murdered. I can see why for the negotiator this job is so difficult. His downside is zero (z-e-r-o). He's not the one standing on his knees with a gun on his head and a blindfold around his eyes, getting beaten and probably tortured. He's the one on the phone, away from all harm and danger. Yet, he needs to think the situation like he'd negotiate his own life. Else, he'll be sniffed as a fraud and the consequences are well, I've told you already.

It's also referred to on the stock market. Same meaning. Rare and unforseen event with tremendous consequences. Ie huge fall or rise of market

Voss uses Black Swan as an unknown unknown that changes the entire dynamic of a potential deal once discovered.

I bet that Al Pacino movie "Devils Advocate" is a spin-off of this guys life!

You know Al Pacino was also in a bank-robbery hostage negotiation movie based on a true story in New York City. Basically, he was negotiating against someone who played the real life predecessor of this guys old job. Dog Day Afternoon. Fantastic movie. One of Pacino's best.
