Kwame Christian
As an author, podcast host, and trainer responsible for helping to some of the biggest
companies in the world negotiate million dollar deals, most people assume that I’ve always been
a confident leader.But the truth is I wasn’t born this way, I was built this way.
Rejection and isolation sunk their teeth into me at an early age.
As a first generation Caribbean American who grew up in small-town
Ohio, nobody wanted to be my friend and it devastated me. More than that, it turned me into a
people-pleaser, as I vowed to never again experience that level of rejection.
Out of my desire to be liked, I built a wall of self-limiting beliefs that was holding me back from
the life I wanted, from my career to my relationships, and even my confidence.Until one day I discovered how to re-define negotiation and apply the fundamentals to building
my confidence and discovering a life of authentic success, stronger connections and more
exciting opportunities. Today I’m proud to be the host of the #1 Negotiation podcast in the
world, Negotiate Anything, a LinkedIn Top Voice, a best-selling author and regarded as one of
the top global thought leaders on negotiation and conflict resolution – having successfully
consulted with leaders from some of the largest and most successful organizations in the world.Keynote : Elevate. Empower. Negotiate Bigger Wins.
