What Winning Looks Like

Defining a win, creating room to chase it, and the traps along the way.

  1. What Does Winning Look Like?

    Being right and winning are usually different outcomes. On why building the airtight case against someone almost never gets you what you actually wanted.

  2. Awareness & Winning: Creating Space to Achieve Your Goals

    The best wins solve future problems before they happen. A real client conflict, and how conceding a minor point produced a written agreement that ended the pattern.

  3. Giving Feedback While Keeping Winning in Mind

    Feedback is not about you. The three-minute exercise I use to separate a person from their performance before a hard conversation starts.

  4. Temptations on the Road to Winning

    Catharsis, pride, and ego each derail a conversation differently. Naming the feeling and pausing fifteen seconds is usually the whole technique.
