“When your brain's auto-pilot is convinced that a square peg will fit in a round hole, just because it worked with triangles.” We often rely on proven strategies and approaches that have brought us success.

Yet we often don’t give it the attention it deserves. We rarely include intentional trust-building as part of our preparation work for negotiations, and this is a mistake.
