Average Read Time: 6 minuesLast week I had the pleasure of interviewing Roger Dawson, author ofSecrets of Power Negotiating, after he saw my review a few weeks ago. Roger has earned the reputation of world-class negotiator from decades of life experience, teaching and writing. The tools packed in this interview were amazing. I hope you benefit from them as much as I have. Here are the questions we cover: 1. What has been the most consistently valuable and versatile technique that you've found in your years of negotiating? 2. What are your best tips for salary negotiation or pre-hire interview/job acceptance negotiating? 3. How do your techniques differ in the age of digital, online and virtual communication? 4. How important do you feel rapport, matching/mirroring, etc are in a negotiation? How would you employ these? 5. If your readers could only learn and use one of your techniques for the rest of their lives, what would it be?

Average Reading Time: 7 minutes

A few years ago I read a study that out of all the books purchased, only 10% of them are read past chapter 1. The statement blew my mind. But then again how many of you have piles of unread books on your shelves? I know I do. There are a number of reasons for the above statistic, not the least of which is that so many readers have never been taught an efficient way to get through a book. I hope to change that with this 6-step guide.
