My book “ListenEveryHow: How Negotiations Work” is now available for purchase on Amazon for N2,929 ($5.99) for the kindle version and N5,868 ($12) for paperback.
It’s an easy-to-read book with a practical approach to get the best results from a negotiation. It is adaptable in content and style – as a story book for leisure readers, life skills manual for entrepreneurs and professionals, or even as a business school handbook.
This book was written with the intention of telling captivating stories in well sequenced chapters that all end with enticing nuggets. A rudiment skill in negotiation is listening and the major themes of this book are reflective of the insights that make the difference in negotiations.
The book is full of anecdotes and one of my favourites is where I talk about breaking the ice during conversations. And I said:
“Years ago, I noticed that people found it difficult pronouncing my name. Ayuli. I came up with something that made the conversation an ice breaker, with the added benefit that it helped them nail the pronunciation. Anytime I mentioned my name and noticed someone struggling, I would say to them, “Ask me if my name is Lee. Ask me, ‘Are you Lee?’” The response when the penny dropped was always entertaining and it left a lasting impression”
