Inside this visual guide, you’ll discover how to:

Stay emotionally in control using proven mindset resets before and during the negotiation
Read the room by identifying your counterpart’s negotiation style: Assertive, Analyst, or Accommodator
Neutralize tension before it derails the conversation through Accusation Audits and tactical empathy
Use silence strategically to create space, signal confidence, and draw out hidden information
✅  Shift your mindset from combat to collaboration and turn your counterpart into a problem-solving partner
