Negotiating the Nonnegotiable

Daniel Shapiro’s Speech Topics

  • Communicating Like a Negotiator

    Dr. Shapiro, a world-renowned negotiator, understands that nearly every interaction we have—professional or personal—includes some form of negotiation. Drawing on his groundbreaking research with everyone from hostage negotiators to senior executives at Fortune 500 companies, he teaches your audience how to communicate more effectively and approach tough conversations successfully. Dr. Shapiro shares a powerful, proven method your team can put to use right away to enhance productivity, strengthen relationships, and boost innovation.

  • Beyond Polarization: Bridging the Divides

    Today’s world is rife with divisiveness, from organizational silos to political rifts. Yet hope remains. Dr. Shapiro offers a tangible solution to bridge these divides, suited for corporate settings, personal dynamics, and even the charged arena of politics. Leveraging his advisory role in high-stakes corporate and geopolitical conflicts, he highlights five “lures” of division and presents actionable strategies to counteract them, fostering productive collaboration and relationships.

  • The Power of Collaboration: A Masterclass

    In our interconnected world, mastering negotiation is crucial for organizational success, impacting everything from policy creation to economic planning. While hands-on experience in negotiation is useful, systematic frameworks elevate your negotiation power. Dr. Shapiro offers participants state-of-the-art tools from the Harvard Negotiation Project, honed over 40 years. These globally recognized strategies have been applied in high-stakes scenarios, from South Africa’s constitutional talks to Middle East peace negotiations and high-stakes corporate disputes.
