Codie Sanchez sits down with Chris Voss, former FBI lead kidnapping negotiator and bestselling author of Never Split the Difference, to break down the psychology of negotiation and the communication tactics that work when the stakes are high.
Chris shares lessons from decades of FBI crisis negotiation and shows how to apply them to everyday life and business: negotiating a higher salary, handling narcissists and difficult personalities, getting through job interviews, dealing with ghosting, mentoring employees, and communicating with more clarity and confidence.
They also explore tactical empathy, the three types of communicators, the power of playfulness, why concise communication matters, and what Chris’s experience inside the FBI taught him about trust, backbone, and the way information can be manipulated.
Chris is the founder and CEO of The Black Swan Group, where he and his team teach The Black Swan Method® and Tactical Empathy® to business owners, leaders, sales professionals, and others navigating high-stakes conversations.
