Christine McKay
Speaks
When it comes to negotiating, most business agreements end up with people agreeing to things they should never agree to. Successful negotiation requires us to operate at the intersection of psychology, analysis, and contracts. In other words, we find and create value when we can understand the people involved, the numbers that drive the economics of a deal, and words used to describe it.
