Great guests and applicable tools!

I was introduced to this podcast by a friend and it instantly became a part of my rotation. Working in the finance/ sports agency field, I find the episodes both informative and entertaining. Relevant tools coming from different perspectives in different fields. It’s all human interaction and a great listen!

Something for everyone

I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with Kwame in person. Negotiate Anything is a refreshing introduction to otherwise over-saturated “self help” and “career” podcast marketplaces. The range of perspectives Kwame introduces reiterates that there is always something to learn from our peers. By the end of each episode, I find that I am invigorated and inspired to implement the tangible tips in my personal and professional life. I highly recommend Negotiate Anything.

Valentines Day episode

Enjoyed the change! Would enjoy a podcast in how you both balance professional careers and family life.
Dirty Litigator

When you realize how often we negotiate things, you’ll understand why this podcast is so great.

The host has a very practical way of approaching every day negotiations. Many people thing negotiations only happen in board rooms or court rooms. They forget everyone negotiates every day. Whether it’s a merger or who gets control of the remote, the tips and tools the host discusses in her podcast are great nuggets of knowledge. Full disclosure, I attended one of Alice’s negotiation workshops, so I was predisposed to like her content. She is an excellent educator and facilitator. The format of the podcast is right on the money. It’s short enough to keep my attention but thorough enough to explore the topic well. Keep up the great work!!

Riveting and Empowering Content

I truly admire the levity, poise, curiosity and brilliance Kwame brings to every interview. I always leave with some many nuggets to apply in my life personally and professionally. Negotiate Anything consistently brings cutting-edge content. I especially loved the Power of Forgiveness episode. Really revolutionary stuff!

Tangible takeaways

How Negotiation Empowers Inclusive Leadership

Negotiate Anything is one of my go-to resources for enhancing my ability as an inclusive leadership coach and staying updated on the latest trends in negotiation. Kwame’s podcast isn't just about negotiation; it's about creating positive change, which aligns perfectly with my own mission. His and his guest’s insights are pure gold, and the diverse range of topics covered makes it a must-listen. Five stars all the way!
elgold25

Negotiation & beyond!

What I love about this podcast is that Kwame doesn’t discuss just the specifics of negotiation in a traditional sense, but how to relates to other facets of our life and career. He’s smart and so easy to listen to!
Niadancer

Negotiation, psychology, empathy, and more!

I love Kwame’s interview style and the wide range of topics covered on the podcast. Really great podcast for being a better negotiator, communicator, and human in general. And I love the motto that “the best things in life are on the other side of difficult conversations.” So prolific that the only downside is that it’s hard to keep up with all the episodes!
Jonathan Mahan

Great energy, great guests

Kwame has such infectious energy and always manages to bring the best out in each of his guests!

Too much advertisement and no real tips

I listened to a couple of shows, the guests just shared how good their programs are, but I didn’t learn any useful tips unfortunately.
Dasani00225

Highly recommend!

I recently started listen to this podcast to improve my communication skills, both professional (sales) and personally. Great pieces of advice and content from each episode. Always learning something new!
Etiquette B****

I always learn something new

I return to this podcast time after time to hear from business experts who have expertise that I don’t. I appreciate Kwame’s wide range of guests - I learn how to enhance my negotiations and communications from all angles, not just an “I must negotiate to win!” angle.
Beth Fisher-Yoshida

Such a broad range of topics

Negotiation is such a broad topic with so many angles. Kwame brings on a variety of guests who together in conversation, touch on so many aspects of negotiation.
Jenni Mc-E

Creative framing & diverse perspectives

I find Kwame’s creative framing of how negotiation occurs in our every day lives to be compelling. It’s true that we are negotiating all day every day. Kwame’s found a way to bring disparate issues together around the singular topic of negotiations. The podcast is accessible, fun, and varied.
Kacey-Marie

Kwame makes negotiation fun!

I love how Kwame takes such an important & generally “serious” topic & make it simple & relatable. The way he breaks things down is super helpful & it makes you feel really confident & capable when it comes to navigating difficult conversations.

Useful and entertaining!

Kwame is a gracious and knowledgeable host with much to offer. His podcast is both practical and entertaining, and I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it. Kwame invites listeners to learn and become their best selves while engaging new ideas and diverse perspectives. And he does it all in warm and inviting ways. His interdisciplinary background further serves to provide rich and meaningful content that is useful in a wide variety of contexts. 10/10

How I learned about negotiation!

Negotiate Anything opened up a whole new world of negotiation for me! As a recovering "people pleaser" faced with conflict or difficult conversations daily, I often shied away from tough conversations until I found this podcast. As the show has grown in popularity over time, I can see just how many lives are being positively impacted. It’s awesome!!! I particularly enjoy the "sparring sessions" because it's something other podcast hosts simply aren't willing to do. As the guest list continues to get better and better, I'm thrilled to be an enduring supporter no matter the circumstance.

Kwame always delivers

With every episode I have learned how to empathize with grace while deepening my sense of humility!
Garvey67

GREAT way to level-up as a negotiator!

As a longtime negotiator, I have found this podcast to be exactly what I need: a variety of viewpoints on a diverse array of topics from people with expertise in the field. This is a convenient way to stay sharp and engaged for both new and seasoned negotiators!

Tuned in.

Just listened to the philosophy of internal negotiations and I had to run it back for the second time because I truly enjoyed this episode. Thank you !

An incredibly generous podcast host

I came across Negotiate Anything in late summer while researching ways to improve my communication skills. It is now among one of three shows I have saved to my library (I used to suffer from podcast overload, so I’m quite selective). Even when the topic or interviewee might not be in an area directly related to my own line of work or concern, there’s usually some insight or “Aha” I can glean. On top of that, the primary host, Kwame, strikes me as an incredibly empathetic, approachable and versatile person — half the battle of a good podcast, IMHO, is having a dialed-in presenter, and he does it with aplomb and obvious passion for his subject matter.

Excellent use of your time

Such an excellent podcast interviewing the masters and experts of our time. If we all negotiate better and resolve conflict better, we can be less acrimonious and more harmonious! HoldingtheCalm.com

Great listening!

Hi, I have been listening throughout my journey interviewing for a new sales/events job. I’ve completed my 2nd interview last week with this small local magazine. The interview went great. Last thing the publisher told me is “I’d like to have you back next week to hash out the “hard details” “ I emailed a follow up and received the response stating she’d like me back but called the next meeting a “3rd inferview” . What can I expect in a 3rd interview/ hard details? This is a small magazine not a huge corporation. My follow up question is, this week I’m prepping for this 3rd interview by listening to your podcasts that apply to negotiating. The stipulation is that ideally I don’t want a 9-5 at an office, I work best on a flex schedule. I mentioned it during the first and second interview and it didn’t seem they like to work that way. However for me to at my best I need to at least try to make it as flexible as possible. Any advice how to negotiate this? Sincerely, Kim

If you are on this earth and you have to interact with people, then you need to listen to Negotiate Anything. You will not only learn how to negotiate, but you will learn how to have the best conversations. You will learn more than you ever imagined. Your people skills will soar. Thanks Kwame. Keep on doing what you are doing.
Brandon Bramley

One of the best negotiation resources!

Negotiate Anything is a great listen for anyone looking to become a professional in negotiation. Kwame host expert negotiators in multiple industries and professions, and ask insightful questions to extract tangible advice that will help anyone become a better negotiator. I’m not only a die hard listener but have also had the chance to chat with Kwame directly on his podcast about The Salary Negotiator. He’s helped me learn more negotiation tactics and incorporate those into our business.

Really knowledgeable and engaging host

I have had the pleasure of being both a guest and a listener/learner and both experiences are rewarding. Kwame comes to the podcast knowing his guest and the topic so what he adds is useful. He is engaging and listens extremely well. I find the topics relevant and the guests are usually interesting. It makes for a good listen.

Powerful Information

Great podcast with a wide variety of guests and very interesting topics
keckle94

Not helpful

A few of these podcasts are great and give advice and tips or tricks you can use at work or in real life. However, most of these just have the guest speaker talking about themselves, a book they wrote, or their job. They explain what they do and that they get results, and what you should do. But, they don’t have explain how to do it, or give any helpful advice. It’s hard to focus and concentrate on these podcasts when the information isn’t made out to be intriguing or helpful.
Brandy_Lynn

Well worth your time

Quality information that is very applicable in today’s professional climate.

Life lessons via negotiation

We are wanting and asking for something every single day and Kwame dives into the range and depth of those conversations looking for not only tools and hacks, but also the heart and humanity of negotiation and problem solving. Highly recommend!
Andy Prisco

Kwame is a gifted interviewer

Kwame masterfully holds space for his guests, giving them extraordinary room to roam the landscape of Negotiation subject matter, while he influences a purposeful dialogue...the best negotiators do this without anyone noticing its happening, as its happening. In other words, any episode itself is a lesson in negotiation, notwithstanding its guest or specific content.
PWhite!

A fabulous of strategy and creativity

Negotiations has never been a strong skill for me; although, however, I am learning each day! What I enjoy about this podcast particularly is that I can reflect on many areas of expertise and reflect on the questions asked and answers given. Kwame interviews a variety of people that bring innovative ideas to many. Keep Rockin It! Paula White

The real deal on deals

I’m a negotiations nerd and was so excited to come across this podcast! Kwame interviews stars like Chris Voss, and also people who can help you negotiate your life and relationships outside of work. Love!

The host with the most

Kwame Christian’s thoughtful questions, engaged conversation style, and warm personality make this podcast a real joy and valuable source of ideas and insights. Highly recommended!
Dr.Vest

The most virtuous podcast

I’ve battled for the past few months trying to think of the right words to leave for you Kwame. The information along with all the valuable people you host on the show has improved every aspect of my life. The way you dialogue your shows, the way you communicate, and the humbleness I hear in your voice is inspiring. When there is a hurdle in my life, I seem to find all the answers in your podcasts. I have been a Realtor for 3 years now and making a drastic change to Chiropractic. I am currently at Logan University and hope to make an impact on the world as much as you’ve impacted me. Again, thank you and to those reading. You may not have the right questions when listening to these, but I know you will because I have. Be Well, Dr.V
