Do you have what it takes to overcome difficult conversations? We all face this at certain points in our lives. We are confronted with someone who we find too difficult to converse with. It can be a stranger, a salesperson, a friend, or at times, a family member. As a matter of fact, Kwame Christian believes that the most difficult conversations are with those who are closest to us. Like most of us, he used to fear difficult conversations and veer away from them the best he could until he realized running away was not resolving anything and, worse, it was not helping him grow. This realization led him to become the founder of the American Negotiation Institute, a company with the mission to empower professionals through the art and science of persuasion, conflict resolution, and effective communication. Discover the power of difficult conversations and how they can transform how you operate your business, your life, and the people around you.

“We have more power than we realize and we have the power to improve the quality of our relationships through the power of negotiation.”

-Kwame Christian
