Transformative Negotiation

"Takes the whole subject of negotiation out of the corporate boardroom and very effectively situates it squarely in the world of everyday people."--Kirkus Reviews "Highly recommended! Get ready to shatter barriers and embrace your full potential with this book. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to create a more equitable world. With a keen eye for the power dynamics that often perpetuate marginalization, Sarah Federman offers a wealth of insights and practical tools to help negotiators find untapped sources of influence and make meaningful impact. Whether you are a novice negotiator or seasoned leader, this book will empower you to negotiate with strength and purpose."--Daniel L. Shapiro, Director of the Harvard International Negotiation Program "This is a fantastic read. I greatly loved and appreciated how Sarah Federman provided a wide range of significant personal and community-based topics, such as social justice, while upholding the integrity and emphasis on conflict resolution. This book is essential reading for community mediation practitioners."--Renata Valree, Community Mediator and Adjunct Professor of Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding at California State University, Dominguez Hills "Federman's work is pathbreaking. I have been in the field of negotiation and conflict resolution for three decades, and this book fills a glaring gap in the negotiation literature. Expanding our understanding of what negotiation looks like in minority and underrepresented communities, this book will serve not only those communities but everyone who wishes to learn more about challenging disputes and how to resolve them."--Donna Hicks, author of Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture That Brings Out the Best in People "Transformative Negotiation strikes a difficult and provocative balance, providing practical guidance for those of us negotiating for better in a biased world while advocating for "win-win-win" approaches that steer us interpersonally and structurally toward more dignifying terrain."--Tehama Lopez Bunyasi, coauthor of Stay Woke: A People's Guide to Making All Black Lives Matter "Negotiating when you've been outcast by society requires different skills and grit than when you're navigating from within. Transformative Negotiation shows how to do this and how to be an equitable leader."--Chris Wilson, author of The Master Plan, My Journey from a Life in Prison to a Life of Purpose
