Module 4 Task: Strategic Empathy Analysis

Take a recent disagreement or negotiation from your own life. Write a one-page analysis using the 4-Step Process. What was their model? What was their "missing piece"? How could you have framed your position to be the solution?

This module deconstructs one of the most misunderstood aspects of business and life. Negotiation is not a battle to be won; it is an architectural problem to be solved. You will learn to move from an emotional, confrontational mindset to a calm, collaborative, and logical one.
