            People Fail for the same 3 Reasons
- 
You’re walking into traps you don’t see. 
- 
You’re missing what other the other person really wants – and they know it. 
- 
You’re giving ground just to avoid conflict or keep things moving. 
Conversations aren’t battles to win. They’re doors you need to know how to open.
 
            The Method Behind the Training?
150+ cases, in Chris' FBI career. Getting people wrong meant someone died. Getting them right meant loved ones went home to their families.
These aren't just the techniques from the book. Chris and his team have spent years adapting and advancing the methodology for every kind of high-stakes conversation - boardrooms to family dynamics, and everything in between.
