How Do You Build a Golden Bridge?
The phrase “Golden Bridge” comes from a Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu, who twenty-five hundred years ago wrote a book called The Art of War. He talked about building your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across. In negotiation I would reframe that positively as a golden bridge for both of you to advance across.

Getting Past No – Use Power to Educate
Excerpt from Getting Past No: Negotiating in Difficult Situations by William Ury
The key mistake we make when we feel frustrated is to abandon the problem-solving game and turn to the power game instead.
Overcoming the power paradox means making it easier for the other side to say yes at the same time that you make it harder for them to say no.

You can overcome these ...
