Overview

The life of Christopher Voss started in the zones where the consequences were most significant. He spent his childhood wondering about people’s behaviors and how to solve the conflict. This early interest took him to a rare profession in law enforcement, where he learned the art of negotiation in some of the FBI’s  most difficult cases. He gained his experience in international kidnapping negotiations, which are the scenarios where every word  and movement can mean either life or death. Over the years of working at the FBI, Christopher Voss established his own strategy of negotiation, which is both systematic and psychological. He found out that  as much as it is important to listen as it is to speak, and that knowledge of the emotional process is equally important for the negotiation process to be successful. He learnt from experience that negotiation is not  about throwing away your values and finding a middle ground but instead, it is about coming up with new  and creative ways that can meet the needs of all the parties involved. These lessons were the most important  in his professional life. After leaving the FBI, Christopher Voss established The Black Swan Group, a company designed to introduce his negotiation methods into the practice of other companies, governments and people. He  has since changed the way that negotiations are done in many industries using these innovative strategies. Thus, using  principles which were originally developed for use in high risk situations he has helped organizations to effectively navigate the complexities  of the negotiation process. Christopher Voss is not only a successful consultant but also a great keynote  speaker. He travels around the world to share his experience in negotiation, conflict resolution, and communication. They are very interesting and engaging presentations, which are supported by real life examples, compelling stories and practical  participation techniques that help the audience to think and discuss the issues. This has made him a go-to  instructor for leaders and other people who want to improve their negotiation skills.
