I LOVE Negotiating with Bullies

March 20, 2018


If you want to be a better negotiator take a tip from a Poker Pro:
You must learn to play the player more than you play the cards. As every Texas hold-em player would agree: you play the same hand differently against different people based on their personalities.

Negotiating

But What Does This Have to Do with My Career?

A lot.

There are profound parallels between poker and business. Every time we run a PokerDivas program, players learn how to read non verbal cues or “tells”, negotiate against different personality types, and adjust strategy to match the other players at the table.

And then they take what they learned at the poker table and apply it at the office the next day..

What Clients Are Saying

Ellen Leikind has the ability to explain a complicated and emotional topic in a way that makes it easy to understand and even easier to execute. By using poker as a metaphor for negotiation and life, I developed clear pictures of what I needed to do; and was able to be clear on what I wanted, know that I was worth it, and not fear asking for it . Plus I really enjoyed it.

– Michelle M. Accountant CPA
