There are many ways we can improve the effectiveness of how we negotiate, communicate and manage conflict. It is lifework because we are never in the exact same situation twice. We continue to change over time through our different experiences and learning. We face different issues and challenges that we need to manage. We interact with different people at different times and the circumstances bringing us together are not the same. Ideally, we reflect and learn from each of these interactions and improve who we are and what we bring to our relationships in the process.
We offer different insights and opportunities for improvement through the variety of services offered by Beth Fisher-Yoshida, to be enriched by her commentary, and to gain more learning through resources based on her research, practice, and work with her colleagues.
Please enjoy, glean what you will, and feel free to reach out and chat.
Beth's latest book on negotiation
This book is amazing! It's an incredible reference and tool for women to easily learn how to advocate for themselves. She teaches us to remove our fears that limit our success in our life. Dr Fisher-Yoshida coaches women to learn how to shut down their internal noise and learn to gain empowerment.
In the Media
While summer still has a few more weeks in the northern hemisphere, I am already turning my attention to fall activities. A big one involves gearing up for the fall semester at Columbia University. There are faculty welcome back sessions, student orientation sessions, and updating course content for the Advanced Negotiation course I’ll be teaching. Stay tuned for what will be in the near future and if you are in that location or available for online events, please let me know and hope to see you there!
In the meantime, some recent highlights from earlier in the summer include:
MS Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Capstone Presentations
Three times a year we get to see and hear presentations from graduating master students on their conflict analysis and intervention recommendations, that is the culminating activity for their master degree.
The Career Refresh Podcast with Jill Griffin: Negotiation Happens in Everyday Spaces
Tuve una conversación estupenda con Jill sobre las estrategias y tácticas de negociación necesarias para progresar y cambiar de carrera. ¡Aún nos esperan más cosas!

My webinar on April 29th
How do the stories we tell shape the way we negotiate and the outcomes we create? On April 29, I’ll be participating in a live webinar where we will explore the deeper layers of negotiation and conflict resolution - beyond tools and tactics - and into meaning-making, perception, and narrative. Drawing on my research and practice in negotiation, intercultural communication, and conflict resolution, we will reflect on questions such as: · How do our internal narratives influence our behavior in conflict situations? · What role does identity play in shaping negotiation dynamics? · How can we become more aware of — and intentional about — the stories we bring into the room? This session is designed for practitioners, leaders, and anyone interested in engaging more thoughtfully and effectively in complex conversations. As many of you know from my work, developing greater self-awareness and understanding others’ perspectives is central to building stronger relationships and achieving more sustainable outcomes in negotiation. I look forward to an engaging and reflective discussion. I hope you’ll join us.
