Your hormones might be sabotaging your negotiations. In this episode, global speaking icon David JP Phillips reveals how to hack your internal chemistry—on demand—to show up with confidence, presence, and power when it matters most. Drawing from his best-selling book High on Life, David breaks down the six key neurochemicals that control your behavior (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphin, testosterone, and cortisol), and shows you how to intentionally trigger the right “emotional cocktail” before a high-stakes conversation. You’ll learn how to: • Boost testosterone without acting aggressive • Use oxytocin to build trust—without going soft • Prime your brain for creativity, calm, and clarity • Change your state and even influence theirs If you've ever felt anxious, frozen, or off your game in tough conversations, this episode is your playbook for taking back control—physiologically and psychologically. Stick around for the end—we even talk about how to prep the other person’s mindset without them noticing.

You might be doing everything right — and still not getting the respect you deserve. In this episode, Kwame sits down with psychologist, professor, and author Alison Fragale to expose one of the most overlooked forces in negotiation and career advancement: status. Not money. Not power. Not charisma. But how others perceive your value — and how you can influence that perception. You’ll learn: * What “status” really is (and why it’s more powerful than any tactic) * Why competence isn’t enough if people don’t respect you * How to increase your status before the negotiation even starts * The two traits people use to judge you instantly — and how to show both * How to build a network that promotes you when you’re not in the room Connect with Alison Follow Alison Fragale on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisonfragale/] https://alisonfragale.com/ [https://alisonfragale.com/] ORDER ALISON’S NEW BOOK - Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve [https://alisonfragale.com/book/#order] Contact ANI Request A Customized Workshop For Your Company [https://www.americannegotiationinstitute.com/services/workshops/] Follow Kwame Christian on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/kwamechristian/] The Ultimate Negotiation Guide [https://www.americannegotiationinstitute.com/guides/ultimate-negotiation-guide/] Click here to buy your copy of How To Have Difficult Conversations About Race!
