Get Stronger at Negotiating with Desmond O’Neill
About this episode
Get Stronger at negotiating with this new episode. Retired Federal Agent and interrogation expert Desmond O’Neill joins Don to discuss his 30-year career spanning the Secret Service and Homeland Security, sharing valuable tips on how to improve your own communication and negotiation skills. Desmond served as a lead instructor for the High Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG), a unit created to revolutionize intelligence gathering through non-coercive, science-based methods.
Desmond shares high-stakes stories from the interrogation booth and translates those lessons into practical tools for everyday life. You’ll learn the "Four Animal Archetypes" for decoding behavior in real-time, the vital difference between manipulation and influence, and why "robbing someone of their moment" is the biggest mistake you can make when building rapport. Whether you’re negotiating a major business deal or simply trying to get your kids to listen, Desmond’s insights on curiosity, empathy, and active listening will transform your approach to communication.
