Laurent, I love what you said in that last paragraph that I ran through translator... Being cited as one of the best negotiators in the world was one of the worst things that ever happened to me. It made me run the risk of believing him. It was by turning to my mentors that I was able to keep my feet on the ground. Now it's my turn to play this role, for teams, for leaders, for organizations that want to work on efficient trust, at the point of balance between quiet assurance and excess confidence. This paragraph... It is such a stark contrast to many negotiators in my own country who often arrogantly want to claim to be the best and have been coming off as charlatans. Thank you for this level of humility and confidence, assertiveness and empathy, and overall authenticity. This alone is inspirational even without all the rest of what you've taught me since I began reading your books. Merci Beaucoup Also love the last point that not everything is negotiable and that one needs to avoid the dangers of thinking everything is negotiable. This is yet another thing certain American negotiators do not seem to understand which I believe you and your books have clarified for me.
