You can find this book, and past book reviews here on Amazon: https://a.co/3wuNo8d
In this episode of Epic Book Reviews, George Couros reviews the book Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss and Tahl Raz. Voss is an FBI Hostage Negotiator who shares theories and tools he has learned throughout his negotiations and then shares case studies where these theories were put into practice. In this book, Voss shares what negotiation techniques worked and what did not work while also explaining why the resulting outcome occurred. Couros reviews this book and shares his own key takeaways as he reflects on his most recent reading!
Quotes & Thoughts:
“…Leverage isn’t the same thing as power.” - Chris Voss
Thoughts: If you are the superintendent of a school district, you might have power. But if you end up on a deserted island and are dying of thirst, the one with water has leverage.
“…empathy is not about being nice or agreeing with the other side. It's about understanding them. Empathy helps us learn the position the enemy is in, why their actions make sense (to them), and what might move them.” - Chris Voss
Thoughts: Calling people that don’t agree with you “crazy.” Does that make them less crazy?
“Splitting the difference is wearing one black and one brown shoe, so don't compromise. Meeting halfway often leads to bad deals for both sides.” - Chris Voss
Thoughts: Moving a program out of our school that wasn’t technically a part of the school.
“What about this doesn't work for you?" and you'll probably trigger quite a bit of useful information from your counterpart.” - Chris Voss
Thoughts: When working with parents and teacher leaders.

Please leave your big learning from 2022 in the comments below! I would love to hear from you!
This is the final "non-compilation" podcast for season 3 and the year of 2022. I wanted to put together some of my big takeaways, in a raw, and unfiltered manner. I felt pretty vulnerable in sharing some of these things, so I hope you can find them of value.
Here were my 4 big takeaways from the year that I expand more on in the podcast.
1. Initiate change for yourself before it is done to you.
2. Sometimes advice is given by others based not on what is best for you but what makes others feel most comfortable.
3. Learn the importance of addition through subtraction.
4. Be in the moment and be present. Embrace where you are so that you can be better to yourself and others.
More on each in the podcast! I look forward to hearing you takeaway from the year as well.
Have a great end to your year!
George Couros
