How To Effectively Negotiate With Your Kids and Partner Featuring Former FBI Hostage Negotiator, Chris Voss

The Paula Faris Show

Parents would make incredible hostage negotiators. After all, we’re negotiating all day, every day, with our kids, partners, and co-workers.

Because we’re in countless negotiations (and maybe we don’t even know it), I’ve invited former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss to the show to help us effectively negotiate with our kids, partner, and co-workers.

This guy is legit. He’s even done a masterclass on it.

Maybe you want your kids to go to bed on time or listen to better music. Or do you want your partner to step it up at home, or do you desire a better schedule at work?

Chris is here for all of it. Plus, he shares why he wants our kids to say NO.

Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It.
