I’d like to introduce to you another book I’m reading: “Never Split the Difference: Negotiating as if your life depended on it,” by Chris Voss. A friend recommended it and, for months, it sat on my desk, waiting for the right moment. In January, I finally picked it up – and I’m captivated. What I’m learning applies across so many areas of my life: my work, my leadership, my service, and especially those sometimes-difficult conversations with people who see the world differently than I do. Perfect, right?
