My TNC Book on Negotiation Practice

A request for support in writing a book on negotiation practice... (10 minutes max!)

---

What this means to me (and hopefully you)

I am embarking on the exciting journey of writing a book to cover our favourite topic... negotiation skills.

Over the last few years I've been deeply committed to crafting a practical approach that takes the theory and places it squarely in our hands to practice.

Making A Negotiation Book Worthwhile...

The process of creating a meaningful and impactful book really does require me to have an in-depth understanding of your preferences, interests, and curiosities which will make your insights a guide and compass that shapes the course of this endeavour.

I believe a successful book is more than just the work of an author; it is the product of a joint collaboration between writer and reader.

For this reason, I come to you asking for your input and collaboration in shaping my book into the best it can be.

Your Input & Support...

A number of simple questions which, with your responses, can help me shape this work to match your interests and address any gaps in the existing literature.

Your perspectives about the topic, the writing style that engages you most, and whether a theoretical or practical approach resonates best will provide essential insights for shaping the narrative.

I'm keen to learn from your experiences with previously read books on this topic, especially what you found most valuable and what you feel is currently lacking.

Thank you for joining me on this writing journey, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thank You.
