Diamond Training: Built for Extreme Pressure
Unbreakable negotiation.
Negotiation is more than just a business conversation–it’s a lifestyle.
At the Black Swan Group, we recognize that we’re constantly negotiating—with our spouses, our children, stakeholders, and employees. Because whenever there’s a want or need present, you’ve found yourself in a negotiation.
That’s why our negotiation is different than all the rest—
It goes beyond numbers, formulas, and scripts. It’s all about neuroscience, psychology, and the art of persuasion. It’s about becoming a better listener, leader, and person in order to gain influence.
The Diamond Training is the first step for you to become a cutting-edge Black Swan negotiator. Discover how our skills have stopped bad guys in their tracks, settled multi-million dollar lawsuits for almost nothing, saved marriages, and transformed hundreds of thousands of lives all over the world.
When you join us LIVE for our Diamond Training you’ll get:
💎Skills to help you uncover the critical information your counterpart is hiding
💎Scientifically-proven negotiation methods to help you make more successful in negotiations (anything from more money to long-term business deals)
💎Hands-on workshops with other ambitious, influential negotiators like yourself
💎And so much more!
This training is not for everyone.
We’re only seeking those that have the drive and ambition to win. Whatever your industry—finance, health, hospitality, commerce—these skills can help you create more fruitful and lasting relationships and make your paycheck explode.
But it comes with a cost.
It means big change—in your mindset, relationships, and worklife. Some people just aren’t ready for that. That’s okay. They’re not our kind of people.
We want the people that are ready for something transformative, tough, and worth it.
Because the only difference between a lump of coal and a diamond is the pressure.
Are you ready to be transformed?
Core Focuses
Tactical Empathy—Learn the fundamental techniques and skills that make up the Black Swan Method. We'll focus on the central ideas and understanding of Tactical Empathy, why empathy should be the principal starting place for negotiations, and the difference between negotiation and bargaining.
Gathering Information—Did you know that one third of the population hates being asked questions? Learn the skills that can help you gather more information better than direct questions can, and simultaneously helps your counterpart feel more understood.
Dealing with Negative Emotions—Negative emotions are inevitable when negotiating. We'll coach you in how to respond to personal attacks, how to diffuse negative thoughts in your counterpart, and how to create more trust-worthy and long-term relationships.
