How do you negotiate for yourself, as opposed to an organization or employer? If you've been in the game for a while, you know there is a difference. You have an odd emotional attachment to negotiations when they're for yourself. You may find that you don't advocate well for your own needs—but do extraordinarily well on behalf of others. So how do you ditch the extra emotion and create some big wins for yourself? Deborah Kolb—Professor Emerita from Simmons School of Management—shares her expertise in this episode of Negotiations Ninja.
