What if the rule we’ve all been taught — “never negotiate without a BATNA” — is the very thing limiting your success?
In this mind-expanding conversation, Kwame Christian sits down with Derrick Chevalier, negotiation strategist and author of Evolve or Be Slaughtered, to expose the hidden danger of over-relying on your BATNA. Together, they explore why the best deals are rarely the ones you plan for, how to embrace creative discovery at the table, and what great negotiators actually do when things don’t go according to script.
Whether you're a seasoned dealmaker or just learning the ropes, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about leverage, planning, and negotiation itself.
