Not a hardcore negotiator? No problem. Here's how to make emotions work for you.

Are you
peacemaker by nature--to a fault. Afraid to push too much for fear of losing out altogether, often settling...and ended up with the short end of the stick.
 
 
Chris Voss, founder and CEO of The Black Swan Group and author of Never Split the Difference, is a former lead international kidnapping negotiator for the FBI. In a recent piece for TIME, Voss detailed a few of his strategies for winning negotiations. As he explains, the traditional advice to show "a poker face" and keep emotions out of the negotiating room is completely wrong.

"How can you separate people from the problem when their emotions are the problem?" asks Voss. "Emotions are one of the main things that derail communication. Once people get upset at one another, rational thinking goes out of the window. That's why, instead of denying or ignoring emotions, good negotiators identify and influence them."

"Emotions aren't the obstacles to a successful negotiation," says Voss. "They are the means."
So how can you use emotions to your advantage when negotiating?

Here are Voss's suggestions, with a few of my own thoughts.
