Participants ask the following questions:

How does someone who has never done peace work before start to become a beacon of peace?

I have been asked to teach an hour class at a trade convention.  I know something about the topic but I am not a big talker and have no idea how to do this.  Also, speaking in front of people makes me very nervous.  Any advice?

Do you know if there is anyone doing the peace work with the gangs in Fresno?

Do you find that you have to teach vulnerability in the prison program or does it come naturally from people once they feel they are deeply heard and/or are in a safe place?  (since you talked about your own discovery about power coming from vulnerability- can you talk more about how that has translated into your work?)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_video title=”Advice & Wisdom March 2, 2015″ link=”https://youtu.be/HMQCkxXk9BA”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]Doug talks about family relationships.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][vc_column_text]On this edition of Advice & Wisdom,  Doug explains the principles of negotiation in relationships. He defines negotiation and explains why negotiation in relationships is more complex than business or legal negotiation. Doug talks about some psychological principles of negotiation, including the reciprocity norm, the nature of trust, and power in negotiation. Doug defines fairness in terms of distributive justice and describes it as a three-leggged stool of equity, equality, and need.

Doug describes and explains the two forms of negotiation, distributive and integrative. He describes five negotiation styles: competitive, compromising, appeasing, avoiding, and collaborating. He explains the limits of collaboration and what must be present for it to occur.

Finally, Doug reveals four principles of negotiation that will make relationship negotiation constructive, positive, and powerful.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
