What Type of Negotiator are You

Voss has 24 years of FBI experience and once served as the FBI’s Lead International Kidnapping Negotiator.  He now runs a practice that trains individuals, corporations and law enforcement professionals to negotiate more effectively and more confidently.) In a previous post, I wrote about the theory of homo economicus, or economic man. It’s the theory that says we humans will act rationally in our own self-interest during a negotiation, making us predictable and logical when we’re making a deal. Or not. Chris Voss says understanding the person across the table is as important as having great negotiation skills. Voss divides negotiators into three categories: Analysts, Accommodators, and Assertives. Sizing up the other side is critical to know how and when to apply tactics. What works on one person may fail completely with another. In tense hostage situations, like those he faced during his FBI career, Voss had to learn to judge people quickly; lives depended on it. In business, you have more time and more information to learn about the other person’s preferred approach. You may even know them well through years of working or doing business together. Voss says that the three types of negotiators are defined by their goals and their relationships to time and silence. Which one is closest to your style? Analysts are methodical and diligent. Voss says they are not in a big rush. Instead, they believe that as long as they are working toward the best result in a thorough and systematic way, time is of little consequence. Their self image is linked to minimizing mistakes, so they’ll take as much times as it takes to get it right. They hate surprises and will need time to recalculate after something new comes up. They view silence as necessary and productive, giving them time to think. Accommodators value relationships over winning. Their goal is to be on great terms with their counterpart, and they hope to remain friends even if they can’t reach an agreement. They love the win â€" win solution, and think as long as there is a free flowing continuous exchange of information, time is being well spent. As long as they’re communicating, they’re happy. For Accommodators, silence implies anger, and they become very uncomfortable when the other party goes quiet. They’ll often start speaking just to fill the space, and this is where many Accommodators start to lose control of the negotiation or reveal things that give the other party the upper hand. Assertives are fiery people who love winning above all else, often at the expense of other party. Their colleagues and counterparts never question where they stand because they are always direct and candid. Relationships, no matter how close, are based on respect, nothing more and nothing less. They prefer getting a deal done quickly to getting everything just right.   For Assertives, silence implies consent; you must not have anything more to say, and it must be my turn to speak (again.) Understanding who’s across the table from you is essential to your success. Push too hard or too fast and you could lose the deal before you begin to explore options. You can also use techniques like strategic silence to push the other person along or create uncertainty and make them anxious to concede a point or close the deal. But all types of negotiators will respond to one word. Chris Voss identifies the word that he describes as “the most powerful word in negotiations”: fair.   He writes, “As human beings, we’re mightily swayed by how much we feel we have been respected. People comply with agreements if they feel they’ve been treated fairly and lash out if they don’t.” The word “fair” incites such primal reactions that it supersedes any issue of self-interest. Bring it up early in your negotiation by stating that you want to make a fair deal or that you want to treat the other party fairly. It changes the dynamics of the negotiation; the other party moves from being motivated to get the best deal to getting one that’s fair. Implying that you’re not being treated fairly is one way to trigger the other party to balance the negotiation, to take a stance that will be more equitable for you both. Try it in your next negotiation.

What You Need to Know About Writing a Resume For Employment Services at the Assessment and Financial Assistance Office

What You Need to Know About Writing a Resume For Employment Services at the Assessment and Financial Assistance OfficeWriting a resume for employment services at the Assessment and Financial Assistance Office of the US Department of Health and Human Services is pretty tough work. That's because applicants are usually required to explain why they deserve the assistance, and how their skills would be useful in the job in question. A good resume should give them a clear idea of what they are in need of, so they can focus on getting the answers they need.So, they have to know where to look for their education records, their references, and so on. Otherwise, the job application forms won't be filled out correctly. As a result, the applicants end up being denied the help they need. The good news is that there are online services that can take care of all these for you.These resume writing services are usually called as Service Centers for the Assessments and Financial Assistance Office. Th eir job is to answer queries about things like whether the applicant has ever been arrested, what kind of criminal record he/she has, and so on. You can use the samples they provide as a guideline for your own resume.It's a good idea to include all relevant information in your resume, regardless of the size. In fact, a little something will always help, especially when it comes to these service centers. However, the small details don't have to be boring, nor do they have to be so long that it's nearly impossible to read.For example, if you are applying for assistance in the area of health assistance, you can include some details about your own health. You can give examples of medical conditions you have and how you are able to deal with them. Just be sure to leave out details that might trigger a negative reaction from the applicants or others who might be present during the interview.Also, since the service centers are located in Atlanta, you don't have to worry about locating them if you have to relocate. Since they are a part of the federal government, they can easily be reached. The internet is also an option, but the two service centers are still better since they are actually situated in Atlanta, so you won't have to worry about transportation costs or anything.There is no doubt that you are to be completely honest with them, and this is one of the most important aspects of a good resume. Before you even send in your application, make sure that you have checked and double-checked all the relevant parts of your resume. Make sure that you can answer all questions they might ask.Make sure that all relevant details are included in your resume before sending it to the US Department of Health and Human Services. This is why some people wonder why people use such services. They think it is better to prepare everything themselves beforehand.

Success Story of the Month - Michael Salvatico - Jane Jackson Career

Success Story of the Month - Michael Salvatico - Jane Jackson Career Success Story of the Month Michael SalvaticoI was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with Michael Salvatico when he began his career transition.   He embraced the change in his career path and viewed every option with curiosity, enthusiasm and ultimately found his calling.   Here is his inspirational story.“It all started when the GFC hit Merrill Lynch and my financial research role was made redundant. After spending 20 years working for large global corporations I wanted to do something personally more meaningful and grasped the exciting opportunity to build my own business with both hands! The hardest thing to leave behind was the security of a ‘paid’ job, but the benefits of driving my own story to success far outweighed any salary anchor!I could not have done without it without family support.   Many of you may think expertise and passion are the driving forces that lead to success, but I argue you cannot succeed without the support of your loved ones to get you through the difficult times when everything seems impossible.  My Career Coach, Jane, was a big help in making the decision to go it alone.   Jane provided the right counseling at the right time during my career transition.  I enjoyed every moment of the journey from assessing my personal and career values to learning about my I-Speak Communication Style.Even I, whom I consider to be one of the most positive people you could meet, had a tough time juggling all the different ‘hats’ I had to wear when starting the business.   I needed to become an expert in accounting, law, corporation tax, marketing, selling, websites, etc.   I can truly say I feel all the better a person for it. Once I made my decision, everything seemed to happen at the right time.   Soon after the enlightening moment when I realised how my passion for the environment could make a meaningful difference to everyone’s lives, I met the right people to make it happen.   In separate meetings I came across Joh n Taberner, a lawyer with 25 years experience in environmental law, who regularly makes the ‘best lawyers list’ and Dr Phil McFadden, whose most recent role was Chief Scientist at Geoscience Australia, the highest position in the geological survey arm of the Australian Government. Here I was, an expert in financial research, and now I had a top lawyer and a top scientist on the board!   The final touch was my wife, Soraya.   More than a European national with strong interests in saving the future, she also adds the female touch to the board of directors.In less than a year, we created Climakind, a company that meets the needs of individuals and businesses to reduce and neutralise carbon emissions.   We supply the “most pure” carbon emission reduction by purchasing credits from the European Emissions Trading scheme for voluntary cancellation.  It’s like offsetting but better as it ensures your efforts to reduce carbon emissions are proactive, high quality and secure.  Yes , if you act now you can make a difference and help guard the future as we know it.Climakind did not come easily, it was and continues to be an enormous amount of hard and often unrewarded work, but it was all worth it.  The road ahead is still uncertain however I am doing what I love, helping people understand why we need to reduce carbon emissions and how an Emissions Trading Scheme provides an ideal tool to achieve deep cuts in emissions.To find out more about climate change and how you can act to reduce carbon emissions, visit www.climakind.com.” Michael Salvatico
