THE CONVERSATION:
Negotiating is a fact of life. We do it constantly and most often with people we see frequently and care about the most. Yet we likely rarely do it thoughtfully or skillfully. Negotiating is so much more than getting our way, or winning. It is really an ongoing relationship. One that creates a jointly held future that you and others can inhabit with grace and gratitude. It is seeing your negotiating partner wholly and with curiosity. It is living in your integrity while encouraging them to live in theirs.
Explore with Stan how best to negotiate your values and desires at a time when so many seem bent on conquering rather than negotiating in the political arena. And how to better negotiate in our religious organizations as well as with our private spiritual inclinations—both often insisting on certainty and conformity.

- When you are connected you will either be waiting in a lobby and will let be in shortly or you will immediately be able to see other participants. Please make sure that you are muted and that your video is on if you choose to have it on. (Love to see and hear you live, but we’ll take curious lurkers also.)
- If you can’t hear the host, me, or others, find your settings and make sure you have a working microphone and speaker selected. OR maybe the problem is on my end so please let me know if it is.
ZOOM ETIQUETTE:
- Please mute your microphone before entering and when you are not speaking so noises are not heard by everyone else.
- If you are going to multitask—not recommended—or wander around a lot, please turn off your video and make sure you are muted. No one wants to be distracted by you eating or using the loo.
