Re negotiation: Trust your instincts even after you've honed your skills. They're there for a reason.

@rtwing1020 Thanks--it will be great.

Keep focused on your goals. Practice positive thinking. View any conflict as an opportunity--look at the solution, not the problem.

Negotiation is persuasion more than power. Negotiation includes a lot of fine lines--and that's what makes it an art.

Our debt is about to reach $17T. Iraq has $20T in oil reserves. Interesting.
