It goes without saying that collaborative lifestyle necessitates negotiation skills, these days. To exemplify it, engaging in businesses, and appearing in courts need such skills for sure. This essay cast((casts or simple past?)) light on some techniques which come in handy in argumentative discussions.

As per Chris Voss’s speech, firstly, it is indispensable to change the mood of your counterpart,((counterpart)) whom you are arguing with. In fact, mirror neurons are a type of brain cell((cells)) that respond equally when we perform an action and when we witness someone else perform the same action. For instance, smiling at the negotiator and changing his/her mood could culminate in opening new doors in((to)) the discussion. Moreover, upward and downward inflexion which are two basic verbal communication elements merit consideration, in case there is no movement on parts of the contract. To be more elaborate, the turbulence of negotiation dwindles with the help of these verbal communication skills. Last but not least, parties had better play fair. Generally, people comply with agreements if they feel they have been treated fairly and lash out if they do not. However, using f words in negotiations can lead to making an implicit accusation of unfairness against your counterpart.

Above all else, from my personal vantage point, strengthening empathy is a serious point. In fact, parties can indicate their empathy by interpersonal skills such as openness, empathetic listening, and paraphrasing their counterpart’s ideas. Also, reading your counterpart’s mind according to his/her body language and paying heed to vocal tonality could be helpful as well.

In a nutshell, there exists((exist)) many elements, from words and vocal tonality to empathy, which should be kept in mind so as to conduct a successful negotiation.

    • Glad to see you using the language in action, and not just studying it. Make sure that this is the most practical way to learn any second languages if it’s mixed with intensive and extensive reading and listening, constant vocabulary learning and grammar improvement, and so forth.
