Negotiate Anything: Negotiation | Persuasion | Influence | Sales | Leadership | Conflict Management

Failure isn’t the end of a negotiation — it’s the beginning of your biggest breakthrough. In this thought-provoking episode of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian sits down with renowned negotiation expert Joshua Weiss to tackle one of the most uncomfortable — and misunderstood — topics in negotiation: failure. Why do smart, capable negotiators struggle so deeply after setbacks? And more importantly, how can failure become a strategic advantage instead of a source of shame? Joshua introduces the powerful ideas behind his book Getting Back to the Table, breaking down why most people learn the wrong lessons from failed negotiations — and how that mistake quietly sabotages future outcomes. Together, they explore the psychology of failure, the role of ego and identity, and the critical difference between blaming yourself, blaming others, and facing the cold, hard facts with clarity and resilience. This episode goes far beyond tactics. It’s a deep dive into mindset, self-awareness, and personal growth — reveali
