I just have to post this–this commercial is awesome. I love that wage gap is now part of the commercial lexicon and that asking for it is portrayed so wonderfully. Practice your arguments, think of criteria, find your courage (apply deodorant, apparently) and go for it. She is not worrying about being likeable, she is … Continue reading Wage Gap negotiations–now in prime time
This year, like last year, I ended my negotiation course with students discussing their personal recipes for success in negotiation. To give them some ideas, I assigned them to read Andrea’s cute piece (written along with half the rest of the field) with various recipes. I wanted them to think about their own needs and … Continue reading This Year’s Recipe for Success in Negotiation

A cute piece in the New York Times identifies a number of problems with multi-tasking with electronic devices and quotes psychologist Kelly McGonigal who … Continue reading Please Put Away Your Damn Phone and Pay Attention

You have probably all heard this by now, but, just in case you didn’t, the Second Circuit upheld the arbitrator’s four game suspension of Tom Brady in the “Deflategate” scandal. The majority emphasized the importance of deferring to the arbitrator’s decision and that the arbitrator has broad discretion on both the substance of the decision … Continue reading Brady Arbitration Decision Upheld in Second Circuit
For the final stage of a simulation in my negotiation course, one group of students negotiated with a video hookup to a student who had to be out of town. I hadn’t planned on this experiment (which worked well), but it got me thinking – a dangerous activity, I admit.

And I really like reflecting images of our community, which means so much to me. I have been taking pictures of people at DR … Continue reading Dispute Resolution Community Photo Album
