How will we break free?
There is an old story told..
A passer-by sees a big elephant with a short rope around its leg tied to a small peg.
The trainer explains to the man that the elephant has become conditioned and has learnt that it can’t break free from chain. As a young elephant, every time it struggled to break free from the rope, it would hurt its leg.
Now even as a grown up elephant tied on the same rope, it does not dare break free.
What have we learnt to give up without trying?
How can we avoid it?

Negotiation is an important life skill
Negotiation is also a game, the more you play and practice, the better you get. Learn and prepare negotiation to reduce anxiety. Like any other skill, it can be mastered.
· Negotiation skills are learnable · You need to know the concept & principles · You need to apply the principles & practice the game · You should get feedback after each negotiation to improve
Last but not the least, seek negotiation and don’t avoid it. When you do buy or sell an asset or join a new job, negotiations are part of the whole process. Prepare for negotiations and don't avoid.
Negotiation is an information game, a conversational dance where we exchange offers...back and forth…offers and counteroffers to benefit mutually.
