?? We don't know who needs to hear this on the day before Thanksgiving, but... If you think negotiation at work – sales contracts, salary and benefits, roles and responsibilities – is difficult, just wait until you come home. Because negotiating skills are required as much (if not more) at the kitchen table as they are at the conference room table. ?? Full of thanks today to negotiation coach extraordinaire Joan Moon for these strategies that can be used for everything from who's sitting at the kid's table to more serious family conflicts. (Bonus - you can apply these tips in the workplace, too!)

?????? Big congrats to our #womeninprint colleagues Down Under! ????
