Everyone negotiates.
Whether it is in life or in business, negotiating is a part of our everyday lives — so it’s important to get it right.
Negotiating the Sweet Spot walks people of all skill and experience levels through simple and proven techniques that are sure to result in better outcomes for all parties and that uncover the hidden value that exists in any negotiation.
The art of leaving nothing on the table.
On average, people leave about 20% of potential mutual gains untapped in any negotiation. This is akin to taking 20% of the value in any deal and dumping it into a garbage canister. Finding that hidden 20%, the “sweet spot,” is a skill that takes practice but is also one that anybody can learn.
In Negotiating the Sweet Spot, Leigh Thompson offers 30 easy to implement strategies for finding a better sweet spot in your negotiations. You don’t have to be a CEO, senior VP, or regional brand manager to learn how to find the sweet spot in life’s negotiations.

Leigh Thompson
Leigh Thompson knows firsthand how negotiations can degenerate into lose-lose outcomes, having witnessed her parents’ divorce after twenty-five years of marriage.
She decided after that point to learn how to help people get better outcomes in their negotiations and is now a decorated, full professor at the prestigious Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Thompson directs several highly successful Kellogg executive education courses, including Leading High-Impact Teams, Constructive Collaboration, and High-Performance Negotiation Skills. In addition, she teaches over 2,500 executives and executive MBA students each year that span the globe from China, Hong Kong, Germany, Israel, Latin America, and Canada, as well as the United States.
“Any relationship, be it personal, business, or otherwise, needs interactions that yield consistent win-win results if it is to succeed over time. Dr. Leigh Thompson has applied her expertise in comprehensive research to take this “why” we recognize and explain the “what” behind it and the “how” to achieve it. ”
