How to Negotiate for What You Need: tips and tools for ND brains with expert John Richardson Ep 86
<p>Hey Team! </p><p>Whether we realize it or not, we spend a lot of our communication in negotiations: asking for what we need, helping family members do chores or homework, simply working with other humans, we're negotiating a lot. But, as it turns out, we're not so great at negotiating, as it's about more than just "communicating better." </p><p>Co-author of "Never Settle," John Richardson, shares memorable and easy ways to more effectively get what we want and need, while preserving relationships and feeling regulated. I learned a lot from John, and our time together was fun, even with sometimes very heavy topics.</p><p> I think you'll enjoy picking his brain with me! </p><p>All my love,</p><p>Sarah</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Never-Settle-Persuasion-Negotiation-Skills/dp/1668070375" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Never Settle </a>is on sale now! </p><p>More about John: <strong>John Richardson </strong>teaches negotiation MIT’s Sloan School of Management, and previously at Harvard Law, and was an associate at the Harvard Negotiation Project. He was coauthor with Roger Fisher and Alan Sharp of Getting It Done and Negotiation Analysis with Howard Raiffa and David Metcalfe. He is also a graduate of the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy.</p><p>Richardson's path to negotiation began with family tragedy. His father lost his older brother Syd—a pilot killed over Germany in WWII—which devastated his dad for life. Decades later at Harvard Law, John met Roger Fisher, co-author of Getting to Yes, who had flown weather missions in that same war. Fisher's plane inadvertently helped the Enola Gay drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima while schoolchildren were still outside—a burden Fisher carried forever. It drove his life's mission: <strong>save the world from war through better negotiation.</strong> That same mission now applies to the daily "wars" in our relationships—the conflicts that damage marriages, fracture families, and leave everyone feeling unheard.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with me!</strong></p><p>My book is out in the wild, and it's changing lives!

Back at School: solutions for absenteeism with Dr Dennis, Ep 85
<p>Hey Team, </p><p>I remember reading a sentence that changed my brain forever: childhood is the only time we're expected to be good at everything. Think about it. As an adult, you likely engineer your life (at least work life) to avoid things that are more difficult or boring. Don't like chem? Don't become a chemist! </p><p><br></p><p>But in childhood, we ask students to be competent in every subject and skill. This is a big demand. Add executive dysfunction to the mix, and it's a wonder our kids and teens keep pushing to attend school! </p><p>Executive function needs can manifest as apathy and disengagement (It's safer to break up with school before school breaks up with us, right?)<br>Students are absent from school at the highest rates in history. And instead of blaming them or assuming they "don't care," we can start to think and act differently. Dr Dennis shows us how on this week's show! </p><p><br></p><p>All my love, team!</p><p>Sarah </p><p><strong>Connect with me!</strong></p><p>My book is out in the wild, and it's changing lives!
