Sitting down with Chris Voss on That's Right, which recently aired on ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX affiliates nationwide, was one of those conversations I hope will help you and/or your team tremendously.

Chris built a career reading people under the highest possible pressure as a lead FBI hostage negotiator. I have spent 25 years coaching high-performance women leaders to do the same thing in boardrooms, negotiations, and high-stakes moments where the margin for error is razor-thin.
